Abstract

This article from Astronomy & Geophysics reflects on the journal's long history and the start of a new chapter at Burlington House. It also pays tribute to John Brown, the Astronomer Royal for Scotland, and his interest in the intersection of science and wider culture. The article discusses the impact of the great comets of the 19th century on literature and society, using the novels of Thomas Hardy as an example. It also addresses the need for change in the science community, particularly in terms of diversity and representation. The article encourages readers to consider nominating individuals for RAS medals and awards. [Extracted from the article]
