About the author

George Biddell Airy

1801–1892

A leading 19th-century astronomer, he spent decades shaping British astronomy as Astronomer Royal and helped fix Greenwich at the center of modern mapping and timekeeping. His name also lives on in science through the “Airy disk,” a basic idea in optics.
