    James Carpenter (astronomer)

    James Carpenter (18401899) was a British astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. During the 1860s he performed the first observations of stellar spectra at the observatory, under the direction of the Astronomer Royal George Airy. In 186162 he was one of three astronomers to successfully observe the dark underside of the rings of Saturn, the other two astronomers being William Wray and Otto Struve.

    In 1871, the engineer James Nasmyth partnered with James Carpenter to produce a book about the Moon titled, The Moon: Considered as a Planet, a World, and a Satellite. This work was illustrated by photographs of plaster models representing the lunar surface, with the illumination from various angles. The result was more realistic images of the lunar surface than could be achieved by telescope photography during that period. The authors were proponents for a volcanic origin of the craters, a theory that was later proved incorrect.

    The crater Carpenter on the Moon is jointly named after him and Edwin Francis Carpenter.

    Famous quotes by James Carpenter:

    "With weather like this, it's actually one of the few times the Winter Warm Up party actually lived up its name. This is the best turnout we've had in years."
    "This is our way to give a big thank you to our season ticket-holders, suite ticket-holders and marketing clients. And it's the only place in town fans can find such unique team memorabilia."
    "We have a heart attack and we need to go down the Williams River Road next to Hanley and past the old barn that burned about ten years ago. Well, that sounds good to the people who live there, but to an ambulance driver or to a fire department, that doesn't mean anything. And getting these names and numbers on all these roads is going to be a great advantage to our county."
