Messier Objects
-
During the years from 1758 to 1782 Charles Messier, a French
astronomer (1730 - 1817), compiled a list of approximately 100
diffuse objects that were difficult to distinguish from
comets through the telescopes of the day. Discovering comets
was the way to make a name for yourself in astronomy in the 18th
century -- Messier's aim was to catalog the objects that were
often mistaken for comets.
