Primarily a mathematical astronomer, he studied the motion of the moon and the planets and redetermined various astronomical values. Simon Newcomb was born on March 12, 1835, at Wallace, Nova Scotia, the son of an itinerant New England schoolteacher. Apprenticed at the age of 16 to a herbalist doctor, Newcomb ran away 2 years later to the United States. He taught at country schools in Maryland for several years and in 1857 was appointed a computer in the Nautical Almanac Office, then located at Harvard University, although the Almanac was published by the Federal government. He took advantage of his stay at Harvard by attending the Lawrence Scientific School, from which he received a bachelor of science degree in 1858. He married Mary Caroline Hassler in 1863.

Newcomb participated in several eclipse expeditions and in 1882 went to the Cape of Good Hope to observe the transit of Venus. 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. His writings include a valuable early paper, On the Secular Variations and Mutual Relations of the Orbits of the Asteroids (1860) and On the Motion of Hyperion See his Reminiscences of an Astronomer (1903); study by L. M. Dunphy (1956).

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.)

Extractions: Elements of Astronomy by Simon Newcomb "Can an idea of the laws and phenomena of the celestial motions be conveyed to a pupil who has not completed the regular course in geometry and physics?" So writes Simon Newcomb in his preface to this thin (240 page) book on astronomy published in 1900. The pupil Newcomb had in mind was "the inquiring layman seeking to know something of the heavenly bodies and their relation to the earth, including such subjects of human interest as the changing seasons, the measurement of time, and the varying aspects of the planets." Newcomb, of course, answered his question in the affirmative, and this book is his proof . We reproduce here his "Chapter II" in its numbered sections: The Earth as a Planet. Annual Motion of the Earth round the Sun. How the Sun shines on the Earth at Different Seasons. Apparent Motion of the Sun The Zodiac. ... Precession of the Equinoxes.

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.
