John Herschel Observed NGC 6818 July 1826, July 1828 and August 1831

Summary: John Herschel observed NGC 6818 July 1828, August 1830 and August 1831, over three decades after its Aug. 8, 1787, discovery by his father.

NGC 6818, known popularly as Little Gem Nebula, lies at a distance of roughly 6,000 light years; its diameter is about 0.5 light-year; March 10, 1997, composite image by NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, with long exposure time at Hbeta (blue) filter giving blue appearance to the nebula’s central binary star: ESA/NASA/Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Sir John Herschel observed NGC 6818 July 1828, August 1830 and August 1831, with his first observation taking place 38 years 11-plus months after his father’s Aug. 8, 1787, discovery of the planetary nebula in Sagittarius the Archer constellation.

German-British astronomer and composer Sir Frederick William Herschel (Nov. 15, 1738-Aug. 25, 1822) discovered NGC 6818, also known as the Little Gem Nebula, six years four-plus months after his March 13, 1781, discovery of the solar system’s seventh planet, Uranus. Sir William’s discovery of NGC 6818 appears as entry IV-51 in his Catalogue of a Second Thousand of New Nebulae and Clusters of Stars, published in 1789. The planetary nebula’s designation reflects its occurrence as number 51 under “IV. Fourth claſs. Planetary nebulae.”

Sir John made his first observation of NGC 6818 July 31, 1826, during Sweep 34 of deep-sky objects. His second observation took place July 19, 1828, during Sweep 163. Sir John’s third observation happened Aug. 10, 1831, during Sweep 365.

Sir John collated his three observations under entry no. 2047 in his Observations of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars, published in 1833. He entered the observations in order of right ascension, the celestial equivalent of terrestrial longitude. Accordingly, the observation from Sweep 365 (Aug. 10, 1831), which occurred chronologically as the last of his three observations, appears first. The right ascension is calculated at 19 hours 34 minutes 20.3 degrees. The declination is given at 104 degrees 32 minutes 37 seconds.

Sir John’s description for his Aug. 10, 1831, observation reads: “Planetary nebula. B; R; equals a * 9 m in its light; diam = 10” by estimation. Perfectly round; there is no central vacuity (power 320). The light, though not hazy, is turbid, not like stars, but a kind of curdled appearance, very singular. Has two stars very near. The nearer, A, 15.16 m; pos 309°.5, 312°.8, 313°.0; the first measure taken with 320, and better than the others. The further, B, 15.16 m; pos 82°.1, 78°.0 (with 320). Dist of A 30”, of B 50”. (See fig 46.).”

His description transcribes as: “Planetary nebula. Bright; round; equals a star of the ninth magnitude in its light; diameter equals 10 seconds by estimation. Perfectly round; there is no central vacuity (power 320). The light, though not hazy, is turbid, not like stars, but a kind of curdled appearance, very singular. Has two stars very near. The nearer, A 15.16 magnitude; angle of position 309°.5, 312°.8, 313°.0; the first measure taken with 320, and better than the others. The further, B, 15.16 magnitude, angle of position 82°.1, 78°.0 (with 320). Distance of A 30 seconds, of B 50 seconds. (See Fig 46.).”

Sir John’s observations from Sweep 163 (July 19, 1828) appear next. Right ascension is 19 hours 34 minutes 21.3 seconds. Declination is 104 degrees 33 minutes 29 seconds.

Sir John’s description for the July 19, 1828, observation notes: “Exactly R; = * 8 m; disc = 10” or 12” in diam; has 2 stars 12 m near. Pos of A = 307°.0, of B = 81°.5. Central measures. Light equable, and disc very lucid, yet a little (not hazy, but) as if boiling at the edges, with a suspicion that it may not be well defined.”

His description transcribes as: “Exactly round; equals a star of the eighth magnitude; disc equals 10 seconds or 12 seconds in diameter; has two stars of the 12th magnitude near. Angle of position of A equals 307°.0, of B equals 81°.5. Central measures. Light equable, and disc very lucid, yet a little (not hazy, but) as if boiling at the edges, with a suspicion that it may not be well defined.”

Sir John’s observations from Sweep 34 (July 31, 1826), which chronologically occurred as the first of the trio, appears last. The right ascension is calculated at 19 hours 34 minutes 22.7 seconds. The declination is 104 degrees 32 minutes 54 seconds.

Sir John’s description for the July 31, 1826, observation states: “Exactly R; diam estimated at 8”; the light equable and equals a * 6.7 m. It is exactly like a planet and two satellites. Distance of A, the nearer, 20”, Pos 45° n p; of B, 25”, 20° n f.”

His description transcribes as: “Exactly round; diameter estimated at 8 seconds; the light equable and equals a star of 6.7 magnitude. It is exactly like a planet and two satellites. Distance of A, the nearer, 20 seconds, angle of position 45 degrees north preceding; of B, 25 seconds, 20 degrees north following.”

NGC 6818 lies in Sagittarius the Archer constellation. The Little Gem Nebula is positioned about “40’ north preceding” of Barnard’s Galaxy (NGC 6822), according to American astronomer Edward Emerson “E.E.” Barnard (Dec. 16, 1857-Feb. 6, 1923).

The takeaway for Sir John Herschel’s observations of NGC 6818 in July 1826, July 1828 and August 1831 is that he added three carefully detailed observations to the astronomical record of the Little Gem Nebula, discovered by his father Aug. 8, 1787.

Alexandre Luigini, Known for Ballet égyptien, Died July 29, 1906

Summary: French composer and conductor Alexandre Luigini, known for Ballet égyptien, died July 29, 1906, four-plus months after his 56th birthday.

Alexandre Luigini, ca. 1880, by French photographer Nadar, pseudonym of Gaspard-Félix Turnachon (April 6, 1820-March 20, 1910); Bibliothèque nationale de France, département Estampes et photographie: Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

French composer and conductor Alexandre Luigini, who died July 29, 1906, is remembered for his ballets, especially Ballet égyptien, Op. 12, composed in 1875.

An unspecified performance of Aida in 1886 in Lyon, east central France, is credited with boosting the popularity of Luigini’s Ballet égyptien. The ballet was inserted into the second act of the ancient Egypt-themed opera composed in 1871 by 19th century Italian opera composer Giuseppe Verdi (Oct. 10, 1813-Jan. 27, 1901). Aida’s second act opens in the chamber of Amneris, daughter of the King of Egypt, with dances and music in celebration of victory in battle by Radamès, Captain of the Guard. At the time of the 1886 insertion, Alexandre Luigini was serving as conductor of the Lyon opera house’s orchestra.

Ballet égyptien’s performance history includes the Metropolitan Opera’s concert repertoire. Met Opera’s first performance of the ballet took place Dec. 31, 1916, during the opera house’s Seventh Sunday Concert. A second performance occurred Jan. 18, 1925, during Met Opera’s Eleventh Sunday Night Concert. The opera house’s third and last performance of Ballet égyptien dates to Jan. 30, 1927, during the Metropolitan Opera’s Sunday Night Concert.

The Metropolitan Opera’s online archives detail performances of four other compositions by Alexandre Luigini. Carnaval Turc, Op. 51, and Le Printemps, Op. 59, claim the first performances of Alexandre Luigini’s music at the Metropolitan Opera. The two pieces were performed Nov. 24, 1907, during the opera house’s First Grand Sunday Night Concert. Luigini’s “poésie musicale” (musical poetry), Le Printemps, was performed first, followed immediately by his “poème symphonique” (symphonic poem), Carnaval Turc.

Marche solennelle, Op. 8, was the third Luigini composition to be performed at the Metropolitan Opera. Marche solennelle opened the opera house’s Second Grand Sunday Night Concert, held Dec. 1, 1907.

La Voix des Cloches, Op. 18, was the fifth Luigini composition to be performed at the Metropolitan Opera. Luigini’s “reverie” was included in the opera house’s Twenty-First Sunday Night Concert on March 30, 1924.

Alexandre Clément Léon Joseph Luigini was born Saturday, March 9, 1850, in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, east central France. His parents were Joseph Ferdinand Pierre Luigini (June 16, 1822-July 9, 1898) and Joséphine Renaud Luigini (Dec. 25, 1818-July 1, 1887). Joseph Luigini conducted the orchestra at Grand Théâtre, the opera house of Lyon’s opera company (l’opéra national de Lyon).

Alexander Luigini studied at the Paris Conservatory (Conservatoire de Paris). His teachers included Belgian violinist Lambert Joseph Massart (July 19, 1811-Feb. 13, 1892); French composer Jules Massenet (May 12, 1842-Aug. 13, 1912); and French composer and harmony teacher Marie Gabriel Augustin Savard (Aug. 21, 1814-June 7, 1881). In 1869, he won the second prize in violin at the Paris Conservatory.

After his studies, he returned to Lyon. In his hometown he played solo violin, under his father’s conductorship, at the Grand Théâtre, beginning in 1869. Alexandre Luigini assumed the orchestra’s conductorship in 1877 and, beginning in 1879, also taught composition and harmony at the Lyon Conservatory (Conservatoire de Lyon).

In 1897, Alexandre Luigini relocated from Lyon to Paris to become the music director and conductor of the Théâtre National de l’Opéra-Comique. At l’Opéra-Comique, his conductorship included the world premiere of Cendrillon by his former teacher, Jules Massenet, on May 24, 1899.

Besides ballets, Luigini’s compositions included operas and other instrumental and vocal settings. He is credited with three operas. Les Caprices de Margot premiered April 13, 1877, in Lyon. La Reine des Fleurs premiered in Lyon in 1878. Faublas premiered Oct. 13, 1881, at Théâtre de Cluny in Paris.

Alexandre Luigini passed away Sunday, July 29, 1906, four months 20 days after his 56th birthday. His death certificate (acte de décès) records the time and place of death as 7:15 p.m. in the musician’s home at 32, Boulevard Haussmann. He was buried in the family plot in the commune of Orliénas cemetery (Cimetière d’Orliénas), Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, east central France.

The takeaway for Alexandre Luigini, who died July 29, 1906, is that the French composer and conductor is remembered for his Ballet égyptien, which was performed three times at the Metropolitan Opera between 1916 and 1927.

Indirect Watering Devices Are There for Newly Transplanted Urban Trees

Summary: An article in the July 2019 Arboriculture & Urban Forestry issue approaches alleviating nursery tree transplant stress through indirect watering devices.

A 12-week study of indirect watering devices in Monticello, Arkansas, included Treegator® ring and upright bags: Treegator Slow Release Watering Bags for Trees and Shrubs @Treegator via Facebook Oct. 22, 2010

The article A Comparison of Indirect Watering Devices for Benefiting Newly Transplanted Urban Trees for the July 2019 Arboriculture & Urban Forestry issue addresses significant stress during and after transplanting nursery trees.

Co-authors Benjamin Babst, Shaik Hassan, Matthew Olson and Christoph Stuhlinger broach the significant transplant stress of limited water availability to insufficient roots in fast-draining soil-less media. Reduced root surface area from culling nursery trees from tree nursery sites for city streets, community parks and university campuses challenges site acclimation and water intake. Direct and indirect watering devices decrease the water stress of nursery tree transplants during their first three-plus months in compacted, crowded, degraded, disturbed, polluted urban landscapes.

Indirect supplemental watering devices exist as open tubs, ring bags and upright bags that entertain 19 to 95 liters (5.02 to 25.09 gallons) at a time.

One scientist in New Jersey and three in Arkansas furnish study objectives of finding indirect watering device characteristics and deliveries that favor growth and frustrate stress.

The four-author, single-species, six-device, 12-week study in Monticello, Arkansas, got flexible bags and rigid tubs for indirect, slow-release watering from holes in or near device bottoms. The Monticello greenhouse had ArborRain® and Treegator® upright bags, ArborRain® and Treegator® Jr. Pro ring bags and Bioplex® Tree Ring Jr. and Tree I.V.® tub devices. Indirect watering devices involved installing two 19-liter (.02-gallon) Tree I.V.®, 30- and 8-liter (7.92- and 2.11-gallon) Bioplex®, 38-liter (10-gallon) ArborRain® and 38-liter (10-gallon) Treegator® water loads.

Eighty-one-centimeter- (31.89-inch-) wide, 56-centimeter- (22.0-inch-) deep plastic containers joined indirect watering devices, for late-March through late-June weekly waterings, and 21 four-year-old river birch (Betula nigra) saplings.

The 12-week study kept pre-dawn leaf water potential measurements of water-deficient tree stress, in the eleventh week to know the most physiologically effective indirect watering devices.

Substantial differences in drainage times, from two minutes to 9.5 hours, for internal watering systems link with individual sizes and total numbers of their drainage holes. Ring bags mean lower costs than other slow-release indirect watering devices and, as enclosures, no tub-like accumulated tree debris clogging drain holes and preventing water release. Internal watering devices such as Bioplex® tubs net uniform water distribution over tree root zones through six water entry points that nestle around tree stem bases.

Four selected side-branches on each of the 21 river birch trees offered research team members initial late-March and final late-June leaf counts per centimeter (0.39 inch).

Percent greenness of all leaf surfaces on lower-, middle- and upper-section stems presents research team members with estimated leaf coverage by direct and indirect watering devices.

Research team members quantified tree growth by direct and indirect watering devices from tree-stem calipers 15 centimeters (5.9 inches), and terminal bud heights, above soil surfaces. Direct and indirect watering systems reveal statistically insignificant count, coverage and growth differences and moderately stressed leaf pre-dawn water potential the last, seventh day between waterings. Indirect watering devices show easy, lightweight installation, handling and water-filling logistical and performance advantages and yet sustain tree growth equal, not superior, to direct watering devices.

Tree nursery transplants tend to turn into successfully newly transplanted urban trees if direct and indirect watering devices tackle water-deficient transplant stress the first three months.

Brooklyn Bridge Park Photo Opps Are Safe for Elementary's Latest Model

Summary: Organic controls and park security assure photogenic appeals of Brooklyn Bridge Park, unlike crime scenes on Elementary's The Latest Model July 25, 2019.

Small flowers, arranged in large clusters, known as panicles, envelop smokebush (Cotinus coggygria) June to August; the panicles persist, after the flowers' fading, as billowing pink and purple hairs that give the shrub its name by their wispy "hover over the foliage like a fine mist," explains Brooklyn Bridge Park's Featured Plant post June 12, 2014: Brooklyn Bridge Park @brooklynbridgepark via Facebook June 16, 2014

Photogenic Brooklyn Bridge Park shrubs are appealing backdrops in photo opportunities, unlike the crime scenes of a serial killer on Elementary procedural drama television series episode The Latest Model July 25, 2019.

Director Ron Fortunato and writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe build bridges from Season 7's tenth episode to its ninth episode, On the Scent, and eighth, Command: Delete. The series' 151st episode overall continues Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) considering crime scenes that rarely concern their Brooklyn Heights community. One intruder each in Season 1's 12th and 24th episodes, 5's 18th episode and 6's fourth and 20th episodes deem Holmes's brownstone deserving of home invasions.

Two assailants in Season Three's 16th episode, one in Season 5's 18th episode and one vandal in Season 6's 15th episode effectuate crimes outside the brownstone.

Well-lighted, well-maintained, well-patrolled Brooklyn Bridge Park shrubs, unlike the crime scene of crime's latest model, favor photo, not serial-killer, shoots not far from the Holmes brownstone.

Beach letchberry (Rosa rugosa) and plum (Prunus maritima), black haw (Viburnum prunifolium), blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) and candleberry (Myrica pensylvanica) give gore-free photo opps. No serial killer hinders chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas), doublefile viburnum (Viburnum plicatum), downy serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea) and dwarf sumac (Rhus copallina) photo opps. Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), grounseltree (Baccharis halimifolia), hairy-stem gooseberry (Ribes hirtellum), high-bush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) and high-bush cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) shrubbery is inimical to ulterior-motived photo opps.

Lilac (Syringa vulgaris), mountain pine (Pinus mugo), oak-leaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia), oval-leaved privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) and pasture rose (Rosa carolina) never jeopardize fashion photography's latest model.

Brooklyn Bridge Park shrubs know crime-free pussy-willow (Salix discolor), red chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia) and raspberry (Rubus idaeus), red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea) and seaside alder (Alnus maritima).

Fashion's, not crime's, latest model loiters among Siebold viburnum (Viburnum sieboldii), smooth rose (Rosa blanda) and sumac (Rhus glabra), snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) and spicebush (Lindera benzoin). She meets menace-free staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina), steeplebush (Spiraea tomentosa), swamp azalea (Rhododendron viscosum) and rose (Rosa palustris), sweet fern (Comptonia peregrina) and winter-hazel (Corylopsis pauciflora). She navigates yellowroot (Xanthorhiza simplicissima) and the latest alpine currant (Ribes alpinum 'Green Mound'), arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum 'Blue Muffin') and cherry-laurel (Prunus laurocerasus 'Otto Luyken') cultivars.

Brooklyn Bridge Park offers creeping (Taxus baccata 'Repandens') and garden (Cephalotaxus harringtonia 'Duke') yew and dwarf cranberry-bush (Viburnum opulus 'Nanum') and ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Nanus') cultivars.

Well-lighted, well-patrolled fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica 'Gro Low'), gray dogwood (Cornus racemosa 'Muskingum'), inkberry (Ilex glabra 'Compacta') and Korean spice-viburnum (Viburnum carlesii 'Compactum') cultivars prevent crime.

Large fothergilla (Fothergilla major 'Mount Airy'), meserve hybrid holly (Ilex x meserveae 'China Girl') and mophead (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Nikko Blue') cultivars quash serial killers questing victims. Fashion photography's latest model realizes the latest shoots among the latest panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Tardiva'), rose-of-Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Diana') and smokebush (Cotinus coggygria 'Grace') cultivars. She safely smells smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle'), summersweet (Clethra alnifolia 'Compacta' and 'Hummingbird'), winterberry (Ilex verticillata 'Red Sprite') and witch-hazel (Hamamelis x intermedia 'Jelena') cultivars.

The latest model of the latest serial killer turns up here, there, everywhere except among well-lighted, well-maintained, well-patrolled Brooklyn Bridge Park shrubs and their latest cultivars.

Small flowers, arranged in large clusters, known as panicles, envelop smokebush (Cotinus coggygria) June to August; the panicles persist, after the flowers' fading, as billowing pink and purple hairs that give the shrub its name by their wispy "hover over the foliage like a fine mist," explains Brooklyn Bridge Park's Featured Plant post June 12, 2014: Brooklyn Bridge Park @brooklynbridgepark via Facebook June 16, 2014, @ https://www.facebook.com/brooklynbridgepark/photos/a.73330793297/10152992084738298/
