At Hay's death, a few items of his equipment were bequeathed to the British Astronomical Association.

In 1839, Bond was allowed to move his personal astronomical equipment to Harvard and serve as its ( unpaid ) " Astronomical Observer to the University.

Members receive the Journal of the British Astronomical Association bi-monthly ; a guide to observing ; an annual handbook ( of charts and astronomical events ); and access to meetings and the association's collections of books and equipment.

Albert also paid for the printing of the Astronomical " Prutenic Tables " compiled by Erasmus Reinhold and the first maps of Prussia by Caspar Hennenberger.

It also included “ information such as weather forecasts, farmers ' planting dates, astronomical information, and tide tables, Astronomical data and various statistics, such as the times of the rising and setting of the sun and moon, eclipses, hours of full tide, stated festivals of churches, terms of courts, lists of all types, timelines, and more .” Mather had within the text of the Almanac the positions and motions of these celestial bodies, which he must have calculated by hand.

In 1886 Eiffel also designed the dome for the Astronomical Observatory in Nice.

They also have a far greater range than transfer booths, extending several Astronomical Units.

Lectures on Mars are also given under auspices of the Dutch Astronomical Society.

* The Prague Astronomical Clock ( also known as Prague Orloj ) was built by Mikuláš of Kadaň and Jan Šindel in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

Astronomical observations of several kinds, including eclipse records, studied in the 19th century, raised suspicions that the rate at which Earth rotates is gradually slowing and also shows small-scale irregularities, and this was confirmed in the early twentieth century.

The International Astronomical Union is also involved in setting standards, but the final arbiter of broadcast standards is the International Telecommunication Union or ITU.

He also served as President of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.

In addition to the Moon and Sun, the other planets also cause a small movement of Earth's axis in inertial space, making the contrast in the terms lunisolar versus planetary misleading, so in 2006 the International Astronomical Union recommended that the dominant component be renamed the precession of the equator and the minor component be renamed precession of the ecliptic, but their combination is still named general precession.

He published his observations in 1844 in the Cycle of Celestial Objects, which earned him the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1845 and also the presidency of the society.

He also won the Copley Medal in 1907, the Henry Draper Medal in 1916 and the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1923.

It is also home to the Australian Astronomical Observatory, which has one of the largest optical telescopes in the southern hemisphere.

The Mountain Skies Astronomical Society is also located there.

But it is also notable ( and not included in some of the foregoing discussion references ) that Adams himself publicly acknowledged Le Verrier's priority and credit ( not forgetting to mention the role of Galle ) in the paper that he gave ' On the Perturbations of Uranus ' to the Royal Astronomical Society in November 1846 :-

Astronomical data and various statistics are also found in almanacs, such as the times of the rising and setting of the sun and moon, eclipses, hours of full tide, stated festivals of churches, terms of courts, lists of all types, timelines, and more.

Astronomical data are often specified not only in their relation to an epoch or date of reference, but also in their relations to other conditions of reference, such as coordinate systems specified by " equinox ", or " equinox and equator ", or " equinox and ecliptic " – when these are needed for fully specifying astronomical data of the considered type.

This also led the Royal Astronomical Society to elect her an Honorary Member.

He also described the method for using the transit of Venus to measure the distance of the Earth from the Sun, which was later advocated by Edmund Halley and adopted as the basis of the first effective measurement of the Astronomical Unit.

He was also awarded the Eddington Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1969.

Apart from his Nobel Prize, he also won the J. Lawrence Smith Medal in 1962, the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1966, and the Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society in 1973.

The system uses data from the SIMBAD, the NASA / IPAC Extragalactic Database, the International Astronomical Union Circulars and the Lunar and Planetary Institute to identify papers referring to a given object, and can also search by object position, listing papers which concern objects within a 10 arcminute radius of a given Right Ascension and Declination.

She became a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1970 and of the Institute of Physics in 1999, when she also became a Chartered physicist.

In 1983 she was elected president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science ; she also has served as vice-president and president of the American Astronomical Society.

Historical Julian dates were recorded relative to GMT or Ephemeris Time, but the International Astronomical Union now recommends that Julian Dates be specified in Terrestrial Time, and that when necessary to specify Julian Dates using a different time scale, that the time scale used be indicated when required, such as JD ( UT1 ).

According to International Astronomical Union boundaries, the Sun now is in Taurus at the June solstice.

Full-size replica of Jansky's radio telescope, now at the National Radio Astronomical Observatory

It is now one of the 88 constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union.

TDB according to the 2006 redefinition can now be treated as equivalent, for practical astronomical purposes, to the long-established JPL ephemeris time argument T < sub > eph </ sub > as implemented in JPL Development Ephemeris DE405 ( in use as the official basis for planetary and lunar ephemerides in the Astronomical Almanac, editions for 2003 and succeedng years ).

The tables are seldom used now ; since the Astronomical Almanac for 1984 they have been superseded by more accurate numerically-integrated ephemerides developed at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, based on much more accurate observations than were available to Newcomb.

Formerly owned and operated by the University of Toronto from its establishment in 1935 until 2008, the observatory is now managed by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Toronto Centre.

Other architectural contributions include the Grand Concert Hall of the Monte Carlo Casino ( 1876 / 79 – 1879 ; since remodeled as the Opéra de Monte-Carlo ) and the Salle de Jeu Trente-et-Quarante ( 1880 – 81 ), both on the Place du Casino in Monte-Carlo ; the Nice Astronomical Observatory ( 1879 – 88 ); the 117 boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris ( 1878 – 80 ); the Hôtel Hachette, 195 boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris ( 1878 – 1881 ); the Panorama Marigny in Paris ( 1883 – 84 ; now the Marigny Theatre ); and his last work, the Magasin ( storehouse ) de Décors de l ' Opéra on the rue Berthier in Paris ( 1894 – 95 ; now the Ateliers Berthier of the Odéon-Théâtre de l ' Europe ).

The South African Astronomical Observatory is administered as a National Facility under management of the National Research Foundation ( NRF ), now formerly Foundation for Research Development ( FRD ).

The Astronomical Observatory has a huge telescope and a wide collection of devices from the scientific instruments museum.

The National Astronomical Observatory is located in the Sierra San Pedro Mártir mountain range in Baja California, about 130 km south of United States-Mexican border.

Successful lunar laser range measurements to the retroreflectors were first reported by the 3. 1m telescope at Lick Observatory, Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories Lunar Ranging Observatory in Arizona, the Pic du Midi Observatory in France, the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory, and McDonald Observatory in Texas.

After the UTSO was closed, in 1998 the Canadian Astronomical Society, a society of university astronomers, published a long range plan emphasizing the study of the origins of structure in the universe, a task well-suited to cutting-edge telescopes but ill-suited to the DDO.

Astronomical objectives for wide-band digital imaging must have apochromatic correction, as the optical sensitivity of typical CCD imaging arrays can extend from the ultraviolet through the visible spectrum and into the near infrared wavelength range.
