Thomas Harriot (1560–1621) was an English mathematician, astronomer, and explorer, known for his contributions to various fields of science and for being one of the first to use a telescope for astronomical observations in England. He is perhaps best known for his work "A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia," in which he documented the flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of the region during his time as a member of an expedition to the Americas.
