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.

Simon Newcomb 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. With his British counterpart Arthur Matthew Weld Downing (1850-1917), Newcomb established a universal standard system of astronomical constants. This was adopted at an international conference 1896, and again 1950.

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.
