## Bio

Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli was born on 14 March 1835 in Italy and trained his telescopes on the red planet at a moment when astronomy was still a patchwork of competing systems. Before him, Martian features carried the names of living astronomers — a messy, shifting catalogue that made consistency impossible. Schiaparelli swept it away and built the nomenclature that survives today, a standardized map that let observers anywhere speak the same language. He also worked as a science historian, tracing how earlier generations had carved up the sky. He died on 4 July 1910, having given Mars a grammar it still uses.
