• cur | prev 2023 a reader (talk | contribs) . . (2,795 bytes) (+45) m . . (talk: so he found it and did not know. yes. that is the difference between finding and discovering and it has cost people a great deal)
• cur | prev 2016 T. Vogel (talk | contribs) . . (2,750 bytes) (+150) . . (→ 34 Tauri is Uranus. he had it in 1690, wrote it down correctly, and called it what it looked like, which is all anybody can do)
• cur | prev 1869 V. Reeve (talk | contribs) . . (2,600 bytes) (+50) m . . (→ the Athenaeum has debated whether a man may be blamed for withholding what is not yet true, and adjourned without a division)
• cur | prev 1847 H. Lorimer (talk | contribs) . . (2,550 bytes) (+70) m . . (→ note: the man was asked for figures he had not finished and would not give them. any man who has ever reduced a night's observations would have done the same, and none of them has been called obstinate for it)
• cur | prev 1783 J. Lalande (talk | contribs) . . (2,480 bytes) (+160) . . (→ numbered the stars of each constellation in his order, for the French edition. the numbers are mine and the order is his and the name that sticks will be his)
• cur | prev 1781 W. Herschel (talk | contribs) . . (2,320 bytes) (+200) . . (→ a new planet beyond Saturn. I took it first for a comet. nobody has looked to see whether it is already in anybody's catalogue)
• cur | prev 1725 M. Flamsteed (talk | contribs) . . (2,120 bytes) (+520) . . (→ published the Historia Coelestis Britannica as he meant it, with Crosthwait and Sharp. three thousand stars. six years late and correct)
• cur | prev 1720 M. Flamsteed (talk | contribs) . . (1,600 bytes) (−90) . . (rm the instruments. they were bought with my husband's money and are not the Crown's, and I am not leaving them to the gentleman now taking the chair)
• cur | prev 1719 J. Crosthwait (talk | contribs) . . (1,690 bytes) (+80) m . . (→ he is dead, and the catalogue is not finished, and the two of us who know how it was to be done are still here)
• cur | prev 1716 J. Flamsteed (talk | contribs) . . (1,610 bytes) (−420) . . (rm three hundred of the above, being thirteen thousand sheets, burnt in the observatory grounds. a sacrifice to Heavenly Truth. the preface went first)
• cur | prev 1712 E. Halley (talk | contribs) . . (2,030 bytes) (+340) . . (→ printed it. four hundred copies, on the Society's authority, with a preface I have not signed. the catalogue exists now, which was the object)
• cur | prev 1696 J. Flamsteed (talk | contribs) . . (1,690 bytes) (−60) . . (rv; an observation is not a result until the refraction and the instrument are taken out of it. what you are asking for is the raw plate and it would embarrass us both)
• cur | prev 1695 I. Newton (talk | contribs) . . (1,750 bytes) (+120) . . (→ require the lunar observations for the theory. send them as they stand. I do not need them reduced and I do not propose to wait)
• cur | prev 1690 J. Flamsteed (talk | contribs) . . (1,630 bytes) (+90) m . . (→ a faint star between the Pleiades and the Hyades, entered as 34 Tauri. nothing remarkable about it and I have written it down carefully)
• cur | prev 1689 J. Flamsteed (talk | contribs) . . (1,540 bytes) (+300) . . (→ built the mural arc out of my father's estate. seconds of arc now, where my predecessors had minutes, and the difference is the whole of the work)
• cur | prev 1684 J. Flamsteed (talk | contribs) . . (1,240 bytes) (+140) m . . (→ took the living at Burstow, the salary being a salary and not a budget. the rectory pays for the observatory and the observatory pays for nothing)
• cur | prev 1676 J. Flamsteed (talk | contribs) . . (1,100 bytes) (+480) . . (→ began observing at Greenwich. the house is built and empty. I shall buy what I need and it will be mine, which I mention now so that it is on the record)
• cur | prev 1675 Charles II (talk | contribs) . . (620 bytes) (+620) . . (created page; a hundred pounds a year for an observator, to rectify the tables of the heavens and so find the longitude. instruments not provided for)
