The Great Telescope constructed by Lord Rosse, 1828-1845, 1901. Creator: Unknown

The Great Telescope constructed by Lord Rosse, 1828-1845, (1901). Irish astronomer and engineer William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse (1800-1867) built what was then the largest telescope in the world on his estate at Birr (then known as Parsonstown), Ireland. The instrument, a 72 in/1.8m reflecting telescope, was known as the Leviathan of Parsonstown. With it Lord Rosse discovered 15 spiral nebulae, and named the Crab Nebula. From " The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901: The Life and Accession of King Edward VII. and the Life of Queen Alexandra". [London, 1901]
