Since all contributed, but none had a complete model.Whose work was the start of modern astronomy and physics for he went beyond trying to describe the motion of?Sir William Herschel. He was the first person to map a whole bunch of nebula on the "celestial sphere", and he inadvertently mapped some galaxies. He was the first person to realize that Uranus was a planet. Aristotle or Archimedes had actually mapped Uranus two or three different times, but Uranus moved so slowly across the sky that he didn't realize that it was a planet. William's son John spent more than a decade in South Africa mapping stars and nebula in the southern hemisphere sky. His sister Caroline discovered at least 10 comets. All of this while his day job was cantor in a church in England.



I know other people are going say Edwin Hubble.
