Eclipses

Arthur was born in Cumbria, UK before moving to Weston-super-Mare as a child. He was not from a wealthy family. But he did so well at school that he got a scholarship to go to Owen's College, Manchester. 

He graduated with a physics degree in 1902. Arthur was then offered a position at Trinity College, Cambridge where he completed his master’s degree. He worked at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, before returning to Cambridge five years later.

Elizabeth was born in Cirencester, UK, in 1830. Her father was the one to spark her interest in science. This was rare as very few women were helped to study or work in science at the time.
