Second Ten-year Catalogue of 6892 Stars for the Epoch 1890·0 From Observations With the Transit-circle Made at the Royal Observatory Greenwich

<p>This meticulous historical record Second Ten-year Catalogue of 6892 Stars for the Epoch 1890·0 presents observations made with the transit-circle at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Compiled under the direction of William Henry Mahoney Christie the Astronomer Royal this catalogue represents a significant contribution to celestial cartography and astronomical science at the close of the 19th century.</p> <p>Detailing the positions of 6892 stars the catalogue provides essential data for astronomers and researchers studying stellar movements astrometry and the broader structure of the cosmos. The precise measurements taken at Greenwich a cornerstone of astronomical observation offer a valuable benchmark for comparing celestial positions across time. This catalogue remains an important resource for historical astronomy and the study of long-term stellar variations. It stands as a testament to the dedication and precision of the astronomers at the Royal Observatory.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
