description: Nice start but feels a bit incomplete! Also wondering—if he was so brilliant, why was he forgotten? There's usually a story behind historical obscurity. More context would help|

description: A moving tribute. The imagery of glimpsing him through a stained glass window as a child is quite poetic. This is exactly the kind of hidden history that makes British scientific heritage so rich and layered. Looking forward to reading the full piece.|

description: Wait, can someone clarify his major astronomical discoveries? The excerpt doesn't actually list his contributions. What made him such a genius?|

description: This reminds me why I love local history—there are forgotten geniuses everywhere! Growing up, we learn about Newton and Galileo, but names like Horrocks are relegated to footnotes. Great to see him getting some attention.|

description: Excellent introduction, though I noticed the excerpt cuts off mid-sentence at "St. M" (St. Michael's, perhaps?). Would love to see the complete article. Horrocks deserves far more recognition in mainstream history texts, especially given his contributions to observational astronomy in the 17th century.|

description: Fascinating piece! I had no idea Jeremiah Horrocks was so significant to British astronomy. The stained glass window detail is haunting—it's tragic that such brilliance was forgotten for so long. Definitely going to research him more.|
