Barnard Catalog (140/369)

Barnard Catalog (140/369) A collection by Gary Imm

Astronomer Edward Emerson (E.E.) Barnard was one of the greatest astronomers of the 19th century. He was known as "The Man Who Never Slept." One of his greatest accomplishments is his atlas of 349 dark nebulae known as the Barnard Catalogue of Dark Markings in the Sky. Due to various reasons, the 349 objects have numbers ranging from 1 to 379, with some numbers unassigned. These nebulae were once thought to be holes in the Milky Way. After further study, they were discovered not to be holes but interstellar dust clouds which block the background Milky Way stars from our view. Barnard died in 1923 at the age of 65. Due to his meticulous work on the Atlas, it was not completed while he was still alive. It was published after his death, in 1927, with the last aspects of publishing the Atlas being handled by his niece Mary Calvert. The 349 dark nebulae vary tremendously in their density, size and beauty.
