		An enthusiastic astronomer, W. Bond discovered a comet in 1811, and was named the first director of the Harvard Observatory in 1839.
		Together with his son, George Phillips Bond, W. Bond discovered a satellite and an additional ring of Saturn, and pioneered celestial photography.
		The Bonds also develiped a break circuit device that attached to the escapement of a clock that was particularly useful as part of the "American method" of determining longitude; it earned a Council Medal at the London Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851.

	The Bonds: Pioneers of American Astronomy
		George Phillips Bond was at first reluctant to join his father in astronomy as he was very interested in nature and the study of birds.
		George Phillips Bond and the two photographers he directed had to deal with some of the problems that later generations of astrophotographers have had to deal with as well: accurate clock drives and finding sensitive enough film to record celestial objects.
		George Phillips Bond described the area around the Trapezium as composed of "wreaths or streaks of nebulosity", and that "in many instances the wreaths, like smoke from wet weeds, grass, or hay thrown on coals, seem to intertwine in a way that is quite difficult to draw".

		He became the assistant of his father, William Cranch Bond, and in 1859 succeeded him as director of the Harvard College Observatory.
		While they were studying Saturn together, George, in 1848, discovered its eighth satellite, Hyperion (which was independently discovered in that same year by the English astronomer William Lassell).
		His observations led him to reject the previously held theory that the rings of Saturn were of solid structure, though his hypothesis of their being in fluid state was in turn soon discarded.

		On July 17, 1850, astronomer William Cranch Bond, working with photographer John Adams Whipple, focused the light from Vega onto a highly polished, iodine-fumed silver plate to produce a daguerreotype that was the first-ever photograph of a star.
		In 1848, only a year after the telescope went into operation, Bond (the observatory's director) and his son George Phillips Bond (himself a future director) discovered Hyperion, the eighth satellite of Saturn.
		A few years later, after the addition of a new clock drive to the telescope, the younger Bond embarked on an ambitious program of photography-based stellar astrometry (the measurement of the positions, parallaxes, and proper motions of celestial bodies) and photometry (the measurement of light).

		Bond and his son George Phillips Bond discovered Saturn's moon Hyperion; it was independently co-discovered at the same time by William Lassell in Britain, and both are given credit.
		Father and son were the first to observe the then innermost ring of Saturn, termed the Crepe ring when they pointed Harvard’s telescope towards Saturn in 1850.

		It was discovered in 1848 independently by the American astronomer George Phillips Bond and the English astronomer William Lassell.
		Hyperion is believed to be composed primarily of water ice with only a small amount of rocky material.
