Extractions: This award is given to U.S. Naval Observatory scientists who have made a significant and identifiable contribution to a specific USNO scientific research effort of considerable consequence. These awardees have exercised a leading role in these projects and are recognized in the community as having contributed to the advancement of the field. Simon Newcomb This award is named for Simon Newcomb (1835-1909), an astronomer at the Naval Observatory from 1861-1877, and Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac Office from 1877 to 1897. During this time he undertook numerous studies in celestial mechanics. His new system of astronomical constants was adopted at the end of the 19th century and these constants were in use for almost another century. He was one of the best known astronomers of his time.

Additional images will be added as time allows. Paintings Asaph Hall (1829-1907) discovered the two moons of Mars in 1877. He was an astronomer at the Naval Observatory, 1862-1891, and was commissioned a Professor of Mathematics, USN in 1863. He was an avid double star observer, and participated in many expeditions to observe solar eclipses and the transits of Venus. Painting by Beverly Stautz Gerald M. Clemence (1908-1974) worked as an astronomer at the Naval Observatory from 1930-1963. He became Director of the Nautical Almanac Office February 28, 1945 and remained in that position until Jan 31, 1958, when he became the first modern Scientific Director of the Naval Observatory, 1958-1963. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences is best known for his general theory of the motion of Mars. Painting by Beverly Stautz George William Hill (1838-1914) is considered one of the nineteenth century's best mathematicians. He worked with Simon Newcomb, and is known especially for his theory of the motions of Jupiter and Saturn, which yielded accurate ephemerides for those planets. He was a member of the Nautical Almanac Office from 1861-1892.

Extractions: Canadian-born US mathematician and astronomer who compiled charts and tables of astronomical data with phenomenal accuracy. His calculations of the motions of the bodies in the Solar System were in use as daily reference all over the world for more than 50 years, and the system of astronomical constants for which he was most responsible is still the standard. Newcomb was born in Wallace, Nova Scotia, and had little or no formal education. In his teens he ran away to the USA, and eventually enrolled at Harvard. In 1861 he joined the navy, where he was assigned to the US Naval Observatory at Washington DC, and in 1877 put in charge of the American Nautical Almanac office. From 1884 he was also professor of mathematics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University. He retired with the rank of rear admiral. At the Nautical Almanac office, Newcomb started the great work that was to occupy the rest of his life: the calculation of the motions of the bodies in the Solar System. The results were published in Astronomical Papers Prepared for the Use of the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac, a series that he founded 1879.

Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Francis Newcom settled in New England in 1635 with his wife Rachel and two children; Andrew Newcomb settled in Maine in 1630; Arthur Newomb settled in Virginia in 1653.

En un primer momento pensé poner una simple relación de los mismos por orden alfabético, pero al ir haciéndose ésta muy extensa sobre la marcha decidí clasificarlos en escuelas de pensamiento. Algunos autores podrían estar clasificados en más de un grupo, pero he tratado de evitarlo, salvo en contadas ocasiones, ya que sólo pretendo ofrecer unos retratos. De todas formas, corro el peligro de que alguien piense que dentro de estas escuelas faltan nombres, e incluso nombres importantes; pero es simplemente porque no he encontrado el retrato correspondiente.

He graduated from Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard College in 1858 and was appointed Professor of Mathematics, United States Navy, in 1861, assigned to the Naval Observatory in Washington. In 1894, he became professor of Mathematics-Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University. He made numerous astronomical discoveries and published more than 100 scientific papers. In 1874 Columbian University of Washington awarded him the degree of LLD. He received a similar honor from Yale in 1875, from Harvard in 1884, and from Columbia in 1887. In 1875, University of Leyden gave him the degree of master of mathematics and doctor of natural philosophy, and in 1886 he received the degree of PhD from the University of Heidelberg. He was awarded the gold medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1874, and in 1878 received the Great Gold Huygens medal of the University of Leyden, which awarded once in twenty years for the most important work accomplished in astronomy. Anita Newcomb McGee Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee (1864-1940) was the daughter of astronomer Simon Newcomb. She was in private practice in Washington DC from 1892 to 1896. She served as Director or the Daughters of the American Revolution Hospital Corps, which trained nurses for the Army and Navy, from April toSeptember 1898. In August 1898 she was appointed acting Assistant Surgeon, United States Army, and was assigned to duty in the Army Surgeon General's Department as Superintendent of the Army Nurse Corps, which she organized.
