   Extractions: John Flamsteed 's father was a business man who was quite wealthy. Flamsteed's mother however died when he was still a child and this affected his upbringing. Flamsteed attended Derby free school which prepared children for a university education. However life did not go smoothly for Flamsteed who, at the age of 14, developed severe health problems. A chronic rheumatic condition led to his father deciding not to send him to university. Flamsteed was extremely disappointed but he did not let it prevent him from studying. Between 1662 and 1669 Flamsteed studied astronomy on his own without the help of teachers. In fact he does not seem to have missed the formal teaching but his father continued to oppose his studies and this made far more difficulties for Flamsteed than the fact that he could not attend lectures. Flamsteed's father always maintained that it was because of his son's ill health that he opposed his studying but Flamsteed, in his correspondence in later life, suggested that his father may have had other motives. Since Flamsteed's mother had died when he was young, Flamsteed was useful to his father as someone to look after the home. Whether or not this was his father's motive, certainly Flamsteed felt bitterness towards his father.

   Extractions: John Flamsteed astronomer , was born on August 19 in Denby Derbyshire England . He was ordained deacon and was preparing to take up a living in Derbyshire, when he was invited to London. On March 4, 1675, he was appointed by royal warrant "The King's Astronomical Observator" - the first British Astronomer Royal , with an allowance of £100 a year. In June 1675, another royal warrant provided for the founding of the Royal Greenwich Observatory , and Flamsteed laid the foundation stone in August. In February 1676, he was admitted a Fellow of the Royal Society , and in July, he moved into the Observatory where he lived until 1684, when he was finally appointed priest to the parish of Burstow Surrey . He held that office, as well as that of Astronomer Royal, until his death on January 12 . In 1720 he is buried at Burstow Surrey In 1666 and 1668, Flamsteed calculated accurately the solar eclipses. He is responsible for the earliest recorded sighting of the planet Uranus , which he mistook for a star and catalogued as 34 Tauri Flamsteed is also remembered for his conflicts with Isaac Newton , then President of the Royal Society , who attempted to steal some of Flamsteed's findings for his own work. Newton tricked Flamsteed into doing so through an edict from the King, and produced the findings without crediting Flamsteed. Some years later, Flamsteed managed to buy most copies of the books back, and publicly burnt them in front of the Royal Observatory.

   John Flamsteed (16461719). English astronomer who began systematicobservations of the positions of the stars, Moon, and planets  
   http://astroinfo.port5.com/f/john_flamsteed.html
   
   Extractions: As the first Astronomer Royal of England, Flamsteed determined the latitude of Greenwich, the slant of the ecliptic, and the position of the equinox. He also worked out an ingenious method of observing the absolute right ascension - a coordinate of the position of a heavenly body - which removed all errors of parallax, refraction, and latitude. Having obtained the positions of 40 reference stars, he then went back and computed positions for the rest of the 3,000 stars in his catalogue. Flamsteed began his astronomical studies at home by observing a solar eclipse 1662, about which he corresponded with other astronomers. In 1672, he determined the solar parallax from observations of Mars. His lunar calculations were urgently needed by Isaac Newton and Edmond Halley to test their theories, but Flamsteed withheld them and fell out with both in 1704
