Edward Emerson Barnard (1857-1923), American astronomer, born in Nashville, Tennessee. He graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1887 and worked at Lick Observatory (1887-1895) and Yerkes Observatory (1895-1923). Barnard is known for his achievements in astrophotography and for his discovery of comets, nebulas, Amalthea (a moon of Jupiter, in 1892), and the nearby star named for him (Barnard’s Star). He determined, through painstaking photography, that the dark regions of the Milky Way are actually dark clouds of dust and gas (see Nebula).
