The construction of the Greenwich Observatory began
August 10, 1675
August 10, 1675
In June 1675, the English King Charles II (1630-1685) ordered to begin construction in the eastern suburb of London, on the Greenwich Hill, an astronomical observatory.
In the seventeenth century, the main problem of naval navigation was the definition of longitude in the open seas. In principle, the longitude could be determined on the basis of observations of the position of the Moon, and Charles II in December 1674 founded the Royal Commission to consider this idea. The commission discussed the letter of astronomer John Flamsteed, who pointed out the practical difficulties in solving this problem.
Then the king instructed the solution of the problem to Flamsteed, appointing him the first Royal Astronomer. Under his leadership, tables were created for the movement of the Moon, a catalog of positions for about 3,000 brightest stars, and astro-metric observations were made.
A place for the new Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park was proposed by Christopher Wren. On August 10, 1675, the construction of the foundation of the Greenwich Observatory was begun.
Throughout the history of astronomy, the Greenwich Observatory played an important role.
The Washington Conference of 1884 adopted the meridian, passing through Greenwich, for the reference point of geographical longitude.
In the 20th century, the direction of the observatory's work changed: more attention was paid to astrophysics. Difficulties in observing the sky in brightly lit London led to the fact that in 1948 the observatory was transferred to Hearstmonso Castle in Sussex.
By the early 1970s, it became clear that there were no places in England where modern observations could be made, and it was decided to move all the observational work to La Palma in the Canary Islands.
In 1990, the observatory administration was moved to Cambridge.
Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly fuel for diesel engines, obtained by chemical treatment of vegetable oil or animal fats.
International Day of Biodiesel - a holiday established in honor of the momentous event: August 10, 1893 Rudolf Diesel engine was launched, working on fuel, the basis of which was peanut butter.
1500 - Portuguese navigator Diogo Dias discovered the island of Madagascar.
1797 - Mary Godwin, an English writer, died, considered one of the first feminist philosophers.
1814 - Henry Nestlé, pharmacist, businessman, founder of ''Nestle'', was born. We all owe this person the main joys of our childhood: sweet cocoa and milk chocolate.
1833 - founded Chicago. Then it was not a city, but a village called Windy City with a population of less than two hundred people. The status of the city of Chicago received in 1837.
1846 - with the money bequeathed by the English chemist and mineralogist James Smithson, the first US research institution, the Smithsonian Institution, was opened. The decision on this was made by the Congress back in 1838, but all these years there has been a debate about the need for such an institution for America.
