Edward Emerson Barnard (1857-1923) was an American astronomer and astrophotographer known for his significant contributions to the field of astronomy, particularly in the study of comets and the Milky Way. He is perhaps best known for discovering several comets, including Barnard's Comet (1889), and for his work in photographing the Milky Way, which provided valuable insights into its structure and composition.
