Chapter 1: Herschel at The Sun: “Every Word You Read Was True!”

Summary:

Written by VioletHeart77.

Chapter Text

Naysayers, skeptics, and the New York Sentinel have been stunned into speechlessness following a personal appearance by Sir John Herschel at the office of The Sun, where he confirmed his authorship of “Great Astronomical Discoveries” and verified the revolutionary findings of Life on the moon outlined therein.

Correspondence has been sent to both the Edinburgh Journal of Science and the Royal Astronomical Society offering congratulations on the latest success of their Favorite Son, as well as requesting their comments on the reported loss of his famous telescope in a devastating fire, which Herschel narrowly escaped without harm just before traveling to New York.
