62. Flamsteed, Atlas, 1729

    http://www.lhl.lib.mo.us/events_exhib/exhibit/exhibits/stars/fla.htm
    
    Extractions: John Flamsteed was the first Astronomer Royal of England and presided over the building of Greenwich Observatory. He was a dedicated observational astronomer, and his "British Catalogue" of stars, finally published in 1725, well after his death, brought stellar astronomy to a new level. His star atlas, published four years after the catalogue but in development for over twenty years, was based on Flamsteed's new, more accurate observations, and that fact, coupled with its impressive size (it was the largest star atlas that had ever been published) immediately vaulted it into the select ranks of the great celestial atlases. One of Flamsteed's principal motives in publishing the atlas was to correct what Flamsteed felt were serious errors in Bayer's depiction of the constellation figures. Bayer had reversed many of the figures, showing them from the rear instead of the front, and these new positions contradicted the traditional star descriptions (i.e., Ptolemy's "star in the right shoulder" of Orion had become, in Bayer's rendering, the star in the left shoulder). Since most stars were still referred to by their Ptolemaic labels, Flamsteed objected to Bayer's revisions as introducing unnecessary confusion into stellar astronomy, and so all his figures follow the traditional descriptions exactly, as we can see in comparing the Orion figures in Flamsteed and Bayer The Flamsteed atlas was welcomed because of its unprecedented accuracy, but it did suffer from some deficiencies. It was, for one thing, almost too big to use, with its twenty-four-by-twenty inch plates. It also lacks the aesthetic quality of both the Bayer and Hevelius atlases. While Andromeda is graceful enough (

    Extractions: John Flamsteed (1646-1719) was appointed as Charles II's `astronomical observator' on 4 March 1675. In effect he was the first Astronomer Royal, though that title was not yet formally attached to his post. His task was to run the new Royal Observatory shortly to be built at Greenwich, and he remained in charge there until his death on the last day of 1719. His three-volume Historia Coelestis Britannica (1725), containing his observations and a new star-catalogue of unprecedented accuracy, and Atlas Coelestis (1729), containing celestial charts, were posthumous publications completed by his widow and assistants. During this second visit, Flamsteed wrote a letter to his patron Sir Jonas Moore. Dated `Jesus Coll: Cambridge: June 30: 1674:', it assures Moore that Flamsteed is continuing his previous studies in astronomy by reading a borrowed copy of Riccioli's Astronomia Reformata (1665). A long discussion of solar tables gives way to more general astronomical topics, including a query about Robert Hooke's claim to a method of observing stars during the daytime. In conclusion Flamsteed says he will `soone be aweary of Cambridge', but plans some diversions in the mean time: he hopes to make some observations with his fourteen-foot telescope, to consult Isaac Newton (at Trinity) about atmospheric refractions, and to learn something about dissecting from a companion who is `a very dextrous Anatomist' (regrettably unidentified, but evidently a member of Jesus College).

    Extractions: JOHN FLAMSTEED and TOWNELEY Sir Jonas Moore gave Flamsteed a Towneley micrometer in 1670. The micrometer, which allowed astronomers to measure very small angular distances, had a big impact on Flamsteed. John Collins advised Flamsteed to write to Richard Towneley and a fruitful correspondence began in 1671. Flamsteed visited Towneley Hall on three occasions between July 1671 and September 1672. He came both to get advice on using the micrometer and to use the library. The library was amongst the best in the country for astronomical research. Richard Towneley's brother Charles, who was living in Paris, obtained the latest books. The library also contained unpublished work by William Gascoigne. Flamsteed said he had learned more from an hour reading Gascoigne's papers than in all his previous studying of optics. On the last occasion he stayed for a week and worked with Richard Towneley. They were attempting to measure the distance of the planet Mars from the sun. The following week, back in Derbyshire, John Flamsteed completed his measurements and was able to make a good estimate of the size of the solar system. Around this time G. D. Cassini made similar measurements in Paris and they later exchanged letters and agreed their measurements.

    Extractions: Richard Towneley ran experiments here at Towneley Hall to help John Flamsteed when he first became Astronomer Royal. These notes describe Richard's "Tryals about the inequality of days" which happened in 1675. Before accurate clocks were invented people relied on sundials. The accuracy of a clock was tested against the sun at noon when the sun was directly to the south. When clock-makers began making pendulum clocks, soon after 1657, they found the clocks did not keep pace with the mid-day sun. As this quotation tells, astronomers had known for a long time that the sun was an uneven timekeeper. "Here take notice, that the earth makes an entire revolution in the Ecliptic in 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes or thereabouts and that those days reckoned from noon to noon are of different lengths; as is known to all, that are versed in Astronomy." [Christian Huygens, 1665] (If you are not "versed in Astronomy" these notes help to explain why each day from noon to noon is not exactly 24 hours long.) Huygens knew that days varied in length from 30 seconds more than 24 hours to 22 seconds less but that over a whole year the days averaged out at 24 hours exactly. He wrote a table of the differences between an accurate clock and the sun at noon for every day of the year.

    Extractions: John Flamsteed Fundador do Observatório de Greenwhich e primeiro astrónomo real de Inglaterra. Tendo abandonado a escola por razões de saúde, Flamsteed estudou Astronomia por iniciativa própria e, posteriormente, prosseguiu os estudos na Universidade de Cambridge, entre 1670 e 1674. Em 1677 tornou-se membro da Royal Society que fora fundada em 1666. O rei Charles II criou, em 1675, o Observatório de Greenwich com o objectivo de encontrar uma solução astronómica para o problema das longitudes, tendo nomeado Flamsteed para ser o primeiro director com o título inerente de astrónomo real Do ponto de vist material, a vida de Flamsteed foi difícil. Com verbas insuficientes foi forçado a dar lições particulares para conseguir os recursos necessários à aquisição do equipamento de observação tendo somente em 1688, graças a uma pequena herança por parte do pai, os meios para construir o quadrante mural, instrumento destinado a medir a altura das estrelas na sua passagem pelo meridiano. Um episódio notável da sua vida deu-se a propósito de uma controvérsia com Newton e Halley. Tendo já acumulado uma quantidade impressioannte de observações não desejava publicá-las enquanto não estivessem completas e com o nível de exactidão pretendido. Todavia, Newton, através da Royal Society, forçou a publicação e, com o apoio financeiro do Príncipe George da Dinamarca, as observações foram editadas por Halley em 1712. Dos 400 exemplares impressos, Flamsteed conseguiu comprar 300 e queimou-os.

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.
