about

Aaron’s inspiration:

Mary Somerville (1780-1872) was a scientist, writer, polymath and astronomer. Born in Jedburgh and raised in Burntisland, Fife, Mary’s translation and expansion of ‘Mécanique Céleste’ in 1831, which was published as ‘Mechanisms of the Heavens’ opened the skies to a whole new generation of astronomers by, “…translating Laplace’s algebra into common language.” She was a huge advocate for the arts and in particular, a fan of the works of Dante and Shakespeare.

Mary, along with Caroline Herschel, was one of the first two women ever to be elected as an honorary member of the Royal Astronomical Society. She is featured on the front of the Royal Bank of Scotland polymer £10 note launched in 2017, alongside a quotation from her work ‘On the Connection of the Physical Sciences’. Her observations are widely credited with enabling the discovery of Neptune and she has a comet and crater of the moon named after her. An intellectual heavyweight and a truly inspirational woman.
