http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1884newcomb-universe.html

Extractions: Extent Of The Universe, 1884 Introductory Note In spite of the fertility of America in mechanical invention and applied science, there are few branches of pure science in which she can be regarded as among the leading nations. Her nearest approach to preeminence has probably been in astronomy; and in this field Simon Newcomb was, at his death, the most distinguished figure. Newcomb was born in the village of Wallace, Nova Scotia, March 12, 1835. His father, who was a teacher, gave him his elementary education; and at the age of eighteen we find him teaching a country school in Maryland. Two years later, a position as computer on the "Nautical Almanac" brought him to Cambridge, Mass., where he studied in Harvard University till 1861, when he was appointed professor of mathematics in the United States Navy. He remained in the government service till he was retired as a rear admiral in 1897, having served besides as professor of mathematics and astronomy in Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, from 1884. Newcomb's chief labors were in the department of mathematical astronomy, and were directed toward the explanation of the observed movements of the heavenly bodies. The difficulty and complexity of the calculations involved are beyond the conception of the layman; and the achievements which brought Newcomb honors from the learned of almost all civilized countries have to be taken on trust by the general. He had, nevertheless, an admirable power of clear exposition of those parts of his subject which were capable of popularization; and the accompanying paper is a good example of the simple treatment of a large subject.

RASC SIMON NEWCOMB AWARD

http://www.rasc.ca/award/newcomb.html

Extractions: Page Last Updated: 2001 Oct 17 The Simon Newcomb Award is intended to encourage members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada to write on the topic of astronomy for the Society or the general public, and to recognise the best published works through an annual award. [Simon Newcomb, Photo courtesy of the Archives , California Institute of Technology] The award is named in honour of the astronomer Simon Newcomb (1835-1909) who was born in Nova Scotia and later served for twenty years as Superintendent of the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac Office at the United States Naval Observatory in Washington. The award was created in 1978 by the National Council of the RASC on the initiative of the RASC Halifax Centre. Any member of the Society is eligible for the award. Nominations may be submitted by another member, a group of members, or an RASC centre. An eligible entry should be a recently-published piece of writing with an astronomical theme. This could be one of: a book or a portion of a book; an article in the Journal of the RASC, a centre newsletter, or another RASC publication; an article in a commercially-published magazine; and so on. A series of articles or a history of exemplary writing would also be considered eligible. The Awards Committee will judge nominations according to several criteria, including: originality, literary merit, scientific accuracy, educational value, and promotion of the Society's objectives. The Committee is not bound to make an award in a given year if the nominated works do not meet a suitable combination of these criteria.

Co-founder and first president of the American SPR. A giant in the field of celestial mechanics, his work on the orbital motion of the planets of the Solar System was the cornerstone of the nautical and astronomical almanacs of the United States and Great Britain until as recently as 1984. Albert Einstein acknowledged the importance of Newcomb's work in the development of his own theory of relativity. Modern Occultism Part 2 Part 3 - Simon Newcomb - If these are truths, we can scarcely exaggerate their importance. Our most cherished aspirations and the consolations that religion offers to the dying and the bereaved are taken from the realm of sentiment and placed on the sure pedestal of science. A new view of mind is opened out, to the development of which we can set no limit. Accepting it, a system of conveying impressions from mind to mind at great distances, and of reading the secret thoughts of our fellows, seems more likely than it would have seemed a century ago that electricity would enable us to communicate with our antipodes. With such prospects opened out to us by scientific authorities so high, it certainly seems more appropriate that the skeptic, if such there be, should make known his reasons for the faith that is in him - perhaps we should say for his lack of faith - than that the doctrines should be treated as unworthy of attention.

The record of many of his researches was published in the Astronomical Papers of the American Ephemeris, a series that he established in 1879. His investigations and computations of the orbits of six planets resulted in his tables of the planetary system, which were almost universally adopted by the observatories of the world. Newcomb urged the use of a common system of constants and fundamental stars by astronomers of all nations. A subject to which he devoted many years of study was the theory of the moon's motion. From the formulas he established it was possible to construct accurate lunar tables.

Extractions: Simon Newcomb (1835-1909) It was a strange road that led Simon Newcomb from rural Nova Scotia to international prominence as an astronomer with the United States Navy. (He retired as a Rear Admiral, but he was a "paper and pencil" officier at the Naval Observatory and Nautical Almanac Office.) As he recounts in his memoir Reminiscences of an Astronomer (1903), his early education was in the hands of his father who followed "the precarious occupation of a country school teacher" in rural Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. "What we now call school training, the pursuit of fixed studies at stated hours under the constant guidance of a teacher, I could scarcely be said to have enjoyed." To his rural neighbors, bookish Newcomb's future seemed in doubt as he to lacked the skills needed for success (e.g., driving a team of oxen) or the money required for educated jobs like lawyer or preacher. Perhaps he should be sent to Halifax as a midshipman, as he had demonstrated an interest in navigation..."to a boy living on the seacoast, who naturally thought a ship of war was one of the greatest works of man, the book [Moore's "Navigator"] was of much interest." The solution to the problem of Newcomb's future was solved when at age 16 he was apprenticed to "Doctor" Foshay of Salisbury, New Brunswick. Foshay turned out to be a quack herbalist. Two years later, thinking that he had been taught everything Foshay knew: nearly nothing, Newcomb ran away from his apprenticeship to join his father in "the States". He found teaching jobs in Maryland, which allowed him to access the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.. There he met Joseph Henry (whose name has become the unit of inductance) who was the director of the institute. (These days the Smithsonian has become a largely curatorial institution rather than a center for science. Henry, the Smithsonian's first director, was a staunch opponent of this trend.)
