Sir George Biddell Airy "The life of Airy was essentially that of a hard-working business man, and differed from that of other hard-working people only in the quality and variety of his work. It was not an exciting life, but it was full of interest..." Wilfred Airy Sir George Biddell Airy (1801-1892) was an accomplished astronomer who spent only two years as Lucasian professor. Unfortunately the salary was not high enough to keep him as Lucasian professor. He moved to the Plumian Professor of Astronomy in 1828. In 1835 the position of Royal Astronomer was offered and accepted by Airy. He is therefore mainly remembered as the Astronomer Royal, the post in which he spent the major portion of his professional life. During his professional life Airy was honored in many ways. He was elected to the Cambridge Philosophical Society after graduating from Cambridge in 1823. The Royal Society of London awarded him the Copley Medal in 1831 for his work in optics. The Royal Society of Edinburgh elected him to membership in the spring of 1835 and The French Academy elected him correspondent in the same year. In 1836, the Royal Society of London elected him to membership and awarded him the Royal Medal in 1845 for a paper on the Irish tides. Also in 1845, Airy was elected president of the Royal Astronomical Society. The Academy of Brussels elected him to membership in 1853. He was awarded the Prussian Order of Merit the following year. In 1862, Cambridge presented Airy with an honorary degree, the LL.D.

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.
