Introduction times of opening How to find us The bells ... Link to us The Reverend John Flamsteed (1646-1719) Born in Derbyshire in 1646, John Flamsteed showed an early talent for practical astronomy, and his work in this field became known among scholars. One of his papers, sent to the President of the Royal Academy, brought him to the attention of Sir Isaac Newton, then Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. As a result, Flamsteed went to Jesus College, Cambridge, where he took a degree in 1674. Another patron was Sir Jonas Moore who procured for him the newly-created office of Astronomer Royal. The early church The building of the new church Damage to the church in 1941 Famous and important people associated with St Alfege over the past 1000 years The building of the Observatory was brought about by the need for a satisfactory method of finding the longitude of ships at sea. A project had been promulgated in London by a Frenchman, Le Sieur de St Pierre, but Flamsteed pointed out that it could not be carried out because, "The places of the fixed stars" were not accurately enough known. The King, Charles II, is said to have reacted with some vehemence, ordering that they should be "anew observed, examined and corrected for the use of his seamen". So the Observatory was built at Greenwich. The King gave a grant of £500, bricks from Tilbury Fort and wood, iron and lead from a demolished gatehouse at the Tower, and promised "whatever else became necessary".

Comenzó a realizar observaciones astronómicas en 1671. En 1675 se ordenó sacerdote de la Iglesia Anglicana y en este mismo año viajó a Londres para entrevistarse con el Rey Carlos II y proponer la construcción del observatorio real. Era conocido por el Rey por haber construido un barómetro y un termómetro para el. El Observatorio Real de Greenwich comenzó a funcionar en 1676, con equipos que prácticamente había pagado de su bolsillo. Se le debe un sistema de proyección para elaborar mapas y el catalogo celeste mas grande realizado hasta su tiempo que contenía alrededor de 3.000 estrellas. Fue un observador avanzado y creo múltiples programas de observación. Su catalogo Historia Coelestis Britannica que fue publicado póstumamente por su ayudante Joseph Crosthwait en tres volúmenes se publicó en 1725 Murió el 31 de diciembre de 1719 en Greenwich.

STAR NAMES Proper Names The naked-eye stars carry a huge number of names that range from the intimately familiar to the hopelessly obscure, each one having a different reason for being. Vega , the fourth brightest star in the sky, has over 40 different names! Star names are either of ancient origin, of more recent historical origin, or are assigned by astronomical organizations under the umbrella of the International Astronomical Union (the organization of professional research astronomers). No private organizations have the rights to name stars. The best-known and most-familiar names are "popular names," real names like those used for people. The oldest of all names, proper names are a mixed lot that descend from a variety of ancient (and even modern) languages that relate to the positions or the characters of the stars. Among the oldest are those from ancient Greek. Sirius , for example, means "searing" or "scorching," appropriate for the brightest star in the sky. Procyon comes from the Greek "pro kion," before the dog," as from the northern hemisphere it rises before the "Dog Star," Sirius; Castor honors one of the ancient Greek warrior twins;

Astronomy in history: John Flamsteed by Carmen Rush, Historian If you can remember back last millennium, you heard Carmen Rush 's first part on John Flamsteed (see AstroNotes, Dec. 2000). Here's the long awaited part two: in 1703, Newton was appointed President of the Royal Society. He wanted to publish a second edition of the Principia , but needed more of Flamsteed's data. Rather that ask directly for it, he deviously appealed to the Queen 's husband, Prince George, known to be a very stupid man but nonetheless with a very enthusiastic interest in astronomy. He hoped to gain a commission to publish a star catalogue in the prince's name, which would of course require Flamsteed's detailed records. Flamsteed was furious and vowed revenge. The project was begun in 1705 and proved to be a disaster from the start. Newton first set-up an editorial committee, pointedly excluding Flamsteed. The star catalogue use this Money Converter for today's equivalent WebEd. ] forcing Flamsteed to finish the work faster. Then, to spite Flamsteed further, publishing rights were given to a very expensive publisher, excluding Flamsteed from the rights. Flamsteed kept stalling, claiming that he wasn't ready. This dragged on for 2 years, and suddenly in 1708, Newton lost his stooge with the death of Prince George. By 1711, Newton launched a fresh attack, persuading Queen Anne to appoint him as inspector in charge of Greenwich Observatory . Under an intermediary
