    Extractions: Biographical Information Occupation, Sphere of Activity George Biddell Airy ( ), an astronomer royal, was influenced in childhood by his educated uncle Arthur Biddell, whose library probably introduced Airy to the sciences. With support from his uncle - and his own hard work (he was a sizar - a student who works as a servant in order to qualify for reduced fees), he was able to attend Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he graduated with the top first class degree. Airy had a long-running feud with Charles Babbage ( ) during his career, over a chair which Airy won at Babbage's expense. Their bickering led to a number of controversies - not always linked to science, in which the two opposed each other. While Airy usually won these disputes, it is far from clear that he was usually right. Airy was an authoritarian astronomer royal, and though he was clearly talented, some have suggested his principal gift was making others work - "Airy was not a great scientist, but he made great science possible." During his tenure, no young astronomers were trained at the observatory, because he could not tolerate opinions diverging from his own. His personal contributions to the science were relatively minor - mostly accurate data and corrections of the work of previous scientists - most famously Jean-Baptiste Delambre's ( ) work on the relative motion of Venus and the Earth.

    Extractions: Print entire article Airy's advances George Biddell Airy was Astronomer Royal at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich from 1835 to 1881. In his time, Airy transformed the observatory, installing some of the most advanced astronomical apparatus of his day and expanding both staff numbers and their workload. Staff had to clock-in and clock-out - common practice in Victorian factories and he also introduced new methods for dealing with the larger scale of the organisation. Further steps to automate systems and the production of strict step-by-step guidelines, all helped to reduce human error and increase efficiency. A transit instrument is always lined up with a north-south line, or meridian. When a star passes over the meridian, the transit instrument can be used to measure the angle at which this happens. Whilst this happens, an extremely accurate clock, called a regulator, is used to measure the time it occurs. These two measurements give the co-ordinates of that star, which can be used to make a star chart - and star position tables to aid navigation. The production of these tables, published annually to this day in the Nautical Almanac, was fundamental to the founding duty of the Observatory, which was to improve navigation.

    Extractions: Astrónomo Autodidacta. Nació el 27 Julio de 1801 en Alnwick, Northumberland, Inglaterra. Posteriormente su familia se trasladó a Hereford. Asistió a la escuela Byatt Walker en Colchester pero siempre afirmó que había aprendido más en la lectura de los libros de su padre. Durante su infancia y durante el tiempo en que su padre atravesaba por una difícil situación económica, fue a vivir donde un tío en el campo, lo cual fue para el muy cómodo y tranquilizador. Estos años marcaron importante huella en Airy. Durante este fue positivamente influenciado por Arthur Biddell quien poseía una extensa biblioteca científica. Ingresó al Trinity College, Cambridge en 1819 donde combinó el trabajo con el estudio. Alcanzó su grado en como primer estudiante de su clase en 1823 y posteriormente comenzó una carrera académica en esta institución. Tres años después de graduarse alcanzó el titulo de la cátedra lucaciana de matemáticas y fue miembro de la oficina de longitudes. Describió el problema ocular que el mismo sufría conocido como astigmatismo, publicando un ensayo llamado On a peculiar Defect in the Eye proveyendo la primera solución practica al problema In 1828 fue nombrado profesor de astronomía y director del Observatorio de Cambridge. Con el salario obtenido en esta nueva posición contrajo nupcias con Richarda Smith en Marzo de 1830.
