	Edward Emerson Barnard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edward Emerson Barnard (December 16, 1857 – February 6, 1923) was an American astronomer.
		Edward discovered a total of eight, and used the money to build a house for his bride.
		The faint Barnard's Star is named for Edward Barnard after he discovered in 1916 that it had a very large proper motion, relative to other stars.

	Barnard, Edward Emerson (1857-1923)
		In 1887, Barnard joined the staff of Lick Observatory and used the new 36-inch Lick refractor to discover Amalthea and the first comet to be found by photography, both in 1892.
		Barnard spent 28 years as an astronomer at Yerkes using the giant refractor as well as the 10-inch Bruce wide-field telescope, built specially for him, to measure star positions and to pioneer wide-field photography for studying the structure of the Milky Way.
		Barnard played a prominent role, at the turn of the twentieth century, in denouncing the existence of Martian canals and insisting that they could be broken down into more diffuse detail.

	Edward Emerson Barnard Biography / Biography of Edward Emerson Barnard Biography
		Edward Barnard was born on Dec. 16, 1857, in Nashville, Tenn. His early education came mostly from his mother; he was employed at the age of nine in the studio of a Nashville photographer, where he remained for 16 years.
		Barnard next began the micrometric triangulation of some of the globular clusters, which he continued for nearly 25 years, hoping to detect motions of the individual stars.
		Barnard was married in 1881 to Rhoda Calvert of Yorkshire, England.

		Edward Emerson Barnard was born in Nashville, Tennessee, on December 16, 1857 to a life of poverty and hardship.
		Barnard's first telescope, a simple lens in a cardboard tube, was made for him by one of his coworkers from the small objective of a broken spyglass found in the street.
		Barnard was disgusted at the poor quality and lack of focus of the pictures, and he saw Holden's time on the 36-inch as a waste of valuable observing time.

		Edward Emerson Barnard was a pioneer in celestial photography, taking a remarkable series of photographs of the Milky Way, at a time when the photographic procedure required long exposures and extreme patience.
		Barnard was the first to discover a comet with the aid of astronomical photography.

		Edward Emerson Barnard was one of the first academic superstars to emerge from Vanderbilt, and one of the only faculty members to have a building named after him.

	Barnard's Star
		Barnard's Star, an old and very dim red dwarf, was once thought to have two Jupiter-class planets.
		The star was named after its discoverer, noted astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard (1857-1923), who found in 1916 that the star has the largest known proper motion of all known stars (10.3 arcseconds per year).
		Some astronomers have suggested that any rocky planets that formed around Barnard's are likely to be sparse in the heavier elements of the atomic table, and that there may be a greater probability of gas giants made mostly of hydrogen and helium in cold, outer orbits.

		Edward Emerson Barnard was a noted astronomer, specializing in wide-field photography.
		Between 1895 and 1897, a 40-inch refracting telescope was built for the University of Chicago at Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, surpassing the Lick telescope in size.
		Barnard moved to Williams Bay in 1897 when the 40-inch objective glass was mounted, and helped test the telescope.

		Edward Emerson Barnard (1857-1923) was one of the most remarkable astronomers in the late 19th/early 20th century.
		The close alignment of these three `new' stars lead Barnard to realise that all these `new' stars were caused by a star with a very large proper motion.
		The large apparent motion of Barnard's star is a result of its nearness and its unusually high space velocity.

		His father, Rueben, would die two months before Edward was born, he would be born into an improvished family, his mother would be an invalid, and he would have to go to work (at the tender age of nine) to help support the faimly.
		Edward had married Rhoda Calvert on January 27, 1881 and while Rhoda was thirty-seven and Edward was twenty-three, the couple got along quite well down through the years.
		But, despite the hassles, Edward did succeed in finding the fifth moon of Jupiter (1892), made measurements of the diameters of the planets and the four largest asteroids, plus, other studies concerning Saturn and Uranus, and continued to hone photographic skills by working on the smaller instruments that were availble to him.

	Press Release - Failed Search for Planet Orbiting Barnard's Star
		Barnard’s Star is a particularly interesting object, not only because of its nearness and noticeably changing position, but also because at least one astronomer claimed to have detected evidence of planetary companions.
		The late Edward Emerson Barnard, an astronomer at Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, discovered the faint, red dwarf that bears his name in 1916.
		The position of Barnard’s Star is moving against the background of “fixed” stars faster than any other star. Ianna and Bartlett measured this proper motion to be 10.3324 arcseconds per year.

		The discoveries of early Lick astronomers, starting with Shelburne Wesley Burnham, James E. Keeler, Edward Emerson Barnard, and their later successors, began a tradition of excellence at Lick that has had a profound impact in shaping the history of American astronomy in the twentieth century.
		Also joining the staff was Edward Emerson Barnard who brought with him experience in a technique new to astronomy--photography.
		In addition, Barnard assisted Lick's director, Edward S. Holden, in taking a series of photographic plates to create an atlas of the moon, while his photographs of the Milky Way showed astronomers the complex arrangement of the galaxy for the first time.
