Entry requires to be fleshed out

This is a very basic entry. It makes no reference to his wife, Lady Margaret Huggins, an astronomer in her own right, who collaborated with him and with whom he produced the Atlas of representative stellar spectra. There should, in fact, be a separate Wikipedia entry for her! -- Eilthireach 22:11, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the above comment about the need to add to this article. Perhaps pictures of spectra or the Huggins observatory could be added. -- Astrochemist 03:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also mention fact that he was the first to determine the velocity of a star using redshift -- 02:44, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Picture

I added a picture from 1910 and moved the drawing. -- Astrochemist 03:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Memorial and gravesite

I recall seeing a memorial to William Huggins in St. Paul's Cathedral. Is he buried there or at Golders Green? -- Astrochemist 03:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
