A great history lesson about Messier. He may not have many plaques honoring him on earth, but there are plenty of beautiful objects in the night sky that we associate with his name. Forever immortalized in the stars.
Just a great talk to honor this pioneering giant. I have a beautiful modern goto scope with its very own M - catalog button on the hand controller. Thanks Charles!
Beautiful story... I felt so bad on hearing of the deaths of his son and wife on the same day. He led an extraordinary life... May he rest in peace...

Thank you for this touching brief biography of a great astronomer.

Thanks so much for this video, it made my project on Msr. Messier much easier to structure!
that was amazing.
I wonder if Charles Messier's memory is silenced partly by his aristocratic connections and to the time of the French Revolution.
