Nomenclature
- William; British astronomer (unkn-1690).
- Perhaps interesting to know that there was also a certain Irish astronomer called Robert Stawell Ball (1840-1913), and also a certain L.F.Ball who seems to have been a dedicated telescopic observer of the moon. - DannyCaes Apr 26, 2015
- And who was Sir Robert Ball (?), mentioned in the article The Moons of Mars (Roscoe Lamont, Popular Astronomy, 1925), see pages 425-426 in Mysterious Universe, a handbook of astronomical anomalies (William R. Corliss, The Sourcebook Project, 1979). - DannyCaes Apr 26, 2015
