Branch of Science Astronomers Nationality English Flamsteed, John (1646-1719) English astronomer who was among the group of scientists who convinced King Charles II to build a national observatory in Greenwich Observatory. Charles II agreed, and made Flamsteed the first royal astronomer. He was a meticulous observer, refusing to publish until his work was completed. Eventually, he published a star catalog three times as large as Tycho Brahe's . Flamsteed grudgingly provided observations of the moon to Newton for use in his lunar theory. As Newton grew more and more overbearing, demanding the observations be turned over to him, Flamsteed grew more and more recalcitrant to provide data (Westfall 1988, p. 391).

Flamsteed, John English astronomer who began systematic observations of the positions of the stars, Moon, and planets at the Royal Observatory he founded at Greenwich, London, 1676. His observations were published in Historia Coelestis Britannica 1725. 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 was born near Derby and studied at Cambridge. He was appointed astronomer to Charles II 1675, but had to supply his own equipment. 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

Flamsteed got the job having recommended that the solution was to produce better tables of the movements of the Moon and the positions of the stars. His Historia coelestis Britannica , listing 2,935 stars, was the first major star catalogue compiled with telescopic aid.

John Flamsteed (1646 - 1719) The founder of the Greenwich Observatory and the first astronomer royal of England, Flamsteed taught himself astronomy after poor health forced him to leave school. He pushed the Royal Society on the need for a new observatory; the Royal Greenwich Observatory was established in 1675 and the following year he was appointed its director, with the title of 'Astronomer Royal'. Flamsteed had to supply all the instruments at Greenwich himself, and was forced to take private pupils to augment his income. He built a mural arc - a wall-mounted instrument measuring the altitudes of stars as they passed the meridian - only after receiving an inheritance on the death of his father. He conducted a series of detailed stellar observations but wished publication to be delayed until he had completed his work. However, the observations were needed urgently by other scientists, including Isaac Newton and Edmond Halley. He fell into a running dispute with Newton when, annoyed when he could not get all the necessary information fast enough, Newton used his influence as President of the Royal Society to force the immediate publication of Flamsteed's catalogue of stars.

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.
