WEST THAMES COLLEGE BACKGROUND INFORMATION

FOR CANDIDATESWest Thames College(initially known as Hounslow Borough

College)came into existence in 1976 following the merger of Isleworth Polytechnic

with part of Chiswick Polytechnic. Both parent colleges, in various guises, enjoyed a

long tradition of service to the community dating back to the 1890s. The college is

located at London Road, Isleworth, on a site occupied by the Victorian house of the

Pears family, Spring Grove House. An earlier house of the same name on this site had

been the home of Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who named Botany Bay with Captain

Cook in 1770. Later he founded Kew Gardens. Situated at the heart of West

London, West Thames College is ideally placed to serve the training and education

needs of local industry and local people. But its influence reaches much further than

the immediate locality. Under its former name, Hounslow Borough College, it had

already established a regional, national and international reputation for excellence. In

fact, about eight percent of its students come from continental Europe and further

afield, whilst a further 52 percent are from outside the immediate area. Since 1 April

1993, when it became independent of the local authority and adopted its new title,

West Thames College has continued to build on that first class reputation. These

days there is no such thing as a typical student. More than half of West Thames

College’s 6000 students are over 19 years old. Some of these will be attending college

part-time under their employers’ training schemes. Others will want to learn new

skills purely out of interest, or out of a desire to improve their promotion chances, or

they may want a change in career. The college is also very popular with 16 - 18

year olds, who see it as a practical alternative to a further two years at school. They

want to study in the more adult atmosphere the college provides. They can choose

from a far wider range of subjects than it would be practical for a sixth form to offer.

If they want to go straight into employment they can still study at college to gain

qualifications relevant to the job, either on a day-release basis or through Network or

the Modern Apprenticeship ons 21 - 26Look at the West Thames

Someone once put forward an attractive though unlikely theory. Throughout the

Earth’s annual revolution around the sun there is one point of space always hidden

from our eyes. This point is the opposite part of the Earth’s orbit, which is always

hidden by the sun. Could there be another planet there, essentially similar to our own,

but always invisible? If a space probe today sent back evidence that such a world

existed it would cause not much more sensation than Sir William Herschel’s discovery

of a new planet, Uranus, in 1781. Herschel was an extraordinary man—no other

astronomer has ever covered so vast a field of work—and his career deserves study.

He was born in Hanover in Germany in 1738, left the German army in 1757, and

arrived in England the same year with no money but quite exceptional music ability.

He played the violin and oboe and at one time was organist in the Octagon Chapel in

the city of Bath. Herschel’s was an active mind, and deep inside he was conscious that

music was not his destiny; he therefore read widely in science and the arts, but not

until 1772 did he come across a book on astronomy. He was then 34, middle-aged by

the standards of the time, but without hesitation he embarked on his new career,

financing it by his professional work as a musician. He spent years mastering the art

of telescope construction, and even by present-day standards his instruments are

comparable with the best. Serious observation began in 1774. He set himself the

astonishing task of ‘ reviewing the heavens’, in other words, pointing his telescope to

every accessible part of the sky and recording what he saw. The first review was made

in 1775; the second, and most momentous, in 1780- 1781. It was during the latter part

of this that he discovered Uranus. Afterwards, supported by the royal grant in

recognition of his work, he was able to devote himself entirely to astronomy. His final

achievements spread from the sun and moon to remote galaxies(of which he

discovered hundreds), and papers flooded from his pen until his death in 1822.

Among these there was one sent to the Royal Society in 1781, entitled An Account of

a Comet. In his own words: On Tuesday the 13th of March, between ten and

eleven in the evening , while I was examining the small stars in the neighbourhood of

H Geminorum, I perceived one that appeared visibly larger than the rest; being struck

with its uncommon magnitude, I compared it to H Geminorum and the small star in

the quartile between Auriga and Gemini, and finding it to be much larger than either

of them, suspected it to be a comet. Herschel’s care was the hallmark of a great

observer; he was not prepared to jump to any conclusions. Also, to be fair, the

discovery of a new planet was the last thought in anybody’s mind. But further

observation by other astronomers besides Herschel revealed two curious facts. For a

comet, it showed a remarkably sharp disc; furthermore, it was moving so slowly that

it was thought to be a great distance from the sun, and comets are only normally

visible in the immediate vicinity of the sun. As its orbit came to be worked out the

truth dawned that it was a new planet far beyond Saturn’s realm, and that the

‘reviewer of the heavens’ had stumbled across an unprecedented prize. Herschel

wanted to call it georgium sidus(Star of George)in honour of his royal patron King

George III of Great Britain. The planet was later for a time called Herschel in honour

of its discoverer. The name Uranus, which was first proposed by the German

astronomer Johann Elert Bode, was in use by the late 19th century. Uranus is a

giant in construction, but not so much in size; its diameter compares unfavourably

with that of J upiter and Saturn, though on the terrestrial scale it is still colossal.

Uranus’ atmosphere consists largely of hydrogen and helium, with a trace of methane.

Through a telescope the planet appears as a small bluish-green disc with a faint green

periphery. In 1977, while recording the occulta-tion1 of a star behind the planet, the

American astronomer James L. Elliot discovered the presence of five rings encircling

the equator of Uranus. Four more rings were discovered in January 1986 during the

exploratory flight of Voyager 22. In addition to its rings, Uranus has 15

satellites(‘ moons’), the last 10 discovered by Voyager 2 on the same flight; all

revolve about its equator and move with the planet in an east-west direction. The two

largest moons, Titania and Oberon, were discovered by Herschel in 1787. The next

two, Umbriel and Ariel, were found in 1851 by the British astronomer William Lassell.

Miranda, thought before 1986 to be the innermost moon, was discovered in 1948 by

the American astronomer Gerard Peter ry:1occultation in astronomy,

for example, when the moon comes between an observer and a star or planet2Voyager
