Astronomer Couple Receive English Heritage Blue Plaque
English Heritage commemorated the Astronomers, Walter and Annie Maunder, with a blue plaque today (Wednesday 16 March). As well as their important work on sunspots, solar photography and the debunking of the canals-on-Mars myth, it was their avowed aim to make astronomy more accessible to women as well as amateur astronomers. The plaque marks 69 Tyrwhitt Road in Lewisham, where the couple lived from 1907 to 1911, having previously lived at number 86. It was during their time on Tyrwhitt Road that they published the 1904 sunspot article, with its famous ‘butterfly diagram’. They were at this address, too, when they wrote The Heavens and its Story, making frequent references to the nearby park and favourite stargazing spot, Hilly Fields.
