About Alexander Stewart Herschel
- Professor Alexander Stewart Herschel (5 February 1836 – 18 June 1907) was a British astronomer. Although much less well known than his grandfather William Herschel or his father John Herschel, he did pioneering work in meteor spectroscopy.
- He also worked on identifying comets as the source of meteor showers.
- The Herschel graph, the smallest non-Hamiltonian polyhedral graph, is named after Herschel due to his pioneering work on Hamilton's Icosian game.
