Robert Harrington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are a number of people named Robert Harrington, including two astronomers:
- Robert G. Harrington (? – ?) astronomer, discovered or co-discovered numerous comets and globular cluster Palomar 12. He worked at Palomar Observatory.
- Robert Sutton Harrington (1942 – 1993) astronomer, married to Betty Jean Maycock, worked at the US Naval Observatory, worked with James Christy, speculated on the existence of Planet X and searched for it. [1]
The above are known not to be the same person, since Robert G. Harrington was professionally active (discovering comets) in the 1940s when Robert Sutton Harrington was a small child.
- Robert Harrington (philanthropist) (1589-1654). His bequests are part of the Bourne United Charities.
