George Phillips Bond
George Phillips Bond (May 20, 1825 – February 17, 1865) was an American astronomer. His early interest was in nature and birds, but after his elder brother William Cranch Bond Jr. died, he felt obliged to follow his father into the field of astronomy. Bond took the first photograph of a star in 1850.
