Great Astronomers

William Parsons, third Earl of Rosse KP PRS HFRSE (17 June 1800 - 31 October 1867), was an Anglo-Irish cosmologist who had a few telescopes built.[1][2] His 72-inch telescope, underlying 1845 and informally known as the "Leviathan of Parsonstown", was the world's biggest telescope, regarding opening size, until the mid twentieth century.[3] From April 1807 until February 1841, he was styled as Baron Oxmantown.
