AstroTwinzDavid Brewster is a journalist (United States).
Sir David Brewster KH PRSE FRS FSA Scot FSSA MICE (11 December 1781 – 10 February 1868) was a Scottish scientist, inventor, author, and academic administrator. In science he is principally remembered for his experimental work in physical optics, mostly concerned with the study of the polarization of light and including the discovery of Brewster's angle. He studied the birefringence of crystals under compression and discovered photoelasticity, thereby creating the field of optical mineralogy. For this work, William Whewell dubbed him the "father of modern experimental optics" and "the Johannes Kepler of optics." Brewster was a pioneer in photography. He invented an improved stereoscope, which he called "lenticular stereoscope" and which became the first portable 3D-viewing device.

Our library holds 314 writers and poets with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 15 of them (5%) have the Moon in Libra, like David Brewster, and 8 (3%) share the Swati Nakshatra — the #23 most common Moon Nakshatra among writers and poets, where Shravana leads with 18 (6%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
