'''Charles Messier''' (''tamkaː sharl mesyee''; [[26 Juni]] [[1730]] – [[12 Aprili]] [[1817]]) alikuwa [[mwanaastronomia]] kutoka nchini [[Ufaransa]] anayekumbukwa kwa kutunga orodha ya [[magimba ya angani]] iliyojulikana kwa [[jina]] la "[[Orodha ya Messier]]". [[Namba]] za orodha yake zinatumiwa hadi leo kwa kutaja magimba ya angani mbalimbali, kwa mfano “M31” ambayo ni [[Galaksi ya Andromeda]].

==Maisha==
Alizaliwa katika jimbo la [[Lorraine]], Ufaransa. Alianza kuvutiwa na habari za [[astronomia]] baada ya kuona [[nyotamkia]] kubwa ya [[mwaka]] [[1744]] na [[kupatwa kwa jua]] mnamo [[tarehe]] [[25 Julai]] [[1748]].

[[Kazi]] yake ya kwanza kuanzia mwaka [[1754]] ilikuwa [[ajira]] kama [[karani]] wa [[Joseph Nicolas Delisle]] aliyekuwa mwanastronomia [[mkuu wa jeshi]] [[Jeshi la majini|la maji]] la Ufaransa. Kazi ya Messier ilikuwa pamoja na kuchora [[ramani]]. Deslisle alitambua uwezo wake alimfundisha pia misingi ya [[astronomia]]. Hasa alimfundisha kuandika kila [[kitu]] alichotazama [[Anga|angani]] pamoja na maelezo yakinifu.

Mwaka [[1757]] aliagizwa na Delisle kutafuta [[Kometi ya Halley]] iliyotabiriwa kurudi mwaka ule; aliitambua tu kwenye [[Januari]] [[1759]] kwa sababu [[utabiri]] ulikuwa na makosa. Mwaka [[1761]] alitazama [[mpito wa Zuhura|mpito wa Zuhura mbele ya jua]] na mwaka [[1764]] alifaulu kukuta nyotamkia ya kwanza isiyojulikana bado.

Tangu 1764 Messier alitafuta hasa nyotamkia angani. Kwa jumla alizitambua 13:<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.comethunter.de/cat2002/com_disc.txt |title=Maik Meyer.

Pamoja na nyotamkia hizi alikuta pia kiasi cha magimba mengine kama vile [[nebula]], [[fungunyota]] au [[galaksi]].

Tangu mwaka [[1771]] alianza kuzipeleka kwenye [[umma]] kwa njia ya orodha yake alimoorodhesha magimba 110 zinazotajwa hadi leo kwa namba kama “Messier-1” (au M1) na kadhalika<ref>[http://www.messier.seds.org/xtra/history/mcathist.html History of the Messier Catalogue], tovuti ya http://www.messier.seds.org/ "The Messier catalogue", iliangaliwa Machi 2019</ref>.
