More photons collected means better images and better spectra, and therefore offers better possibilities for understanding of cosmic processes.
During the total solar eclipse of 7 August 1869, a green emission line of wavelength 530.3 nm was independently observed by Charles Augustus Young (1834–1908) and William Harkness (1837–1903) in the coronal spectrum.
Many of these, such as the Andromeda Nebula, had spectra that looked like stellar spectra, and these turned out to be galaxies.
Sir William Huggins, OM, KCB, FRS (7 February 1824 – 12 May 1910) was an English astronomer best known for his pioneering work in astronomical spectroscopy together with his wife Margaret Lindsay Huggins.
