| | Lockyer, Joseph Norman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Lockyer was born in Rugby, the Midlands, and began as an amateur astronomer. |
 | | Although Lockyer had been the first to think of it, the same idea had occurred to French astronomer Pierre Janssen, then working in India, and they simultaneously notified the French Academy of Sciences of the same result. |
 | | Lockyer also developed the theory that Stonehenge is oriented towards the direction in which the Sun rises at the time of the summer solstice. |
