"It being now evident that there was a refraction of rays coming from the sun,
which though not fit for vision,
were yet highly invested with a power of occasioning heat,
I proceeded to examine its extend as follows."
(William Herschel, when he discovers the 'thermometrical spectrum', ie infrared; as published in
the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society' of Mai 15, 1800.
For more info about this man, and the relation his work has with no
one less than the German Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, see William
Herschel )
