		Flamsteed was born in Denby, Derbyshire, England, and was educated at Derby School and Jesus College, Cambridge.
		Flamsteed is also remembered for his conflicts with Isaac Newton, the President of the Royal Society at the time.
		Flamsteed was refusing to publish work that had been commissioned by the king, and in 1712 Newton and Edmond Halley published a preliminary version of Flamsteed's Historia Coelestis Britannica without crediting the author.

		Flamsteed's mother however died when he was still a child and this affected his upbringing.
		Flamsteed was extremely disappointed but he did not let it prevent him from studying.

	Flamsteed biography
		Flamsteed was a skilled observer and had a number of observing programmes at the Royal Observatory to answer major questions.
		Flamsteed never quite seemed to understand what Newton required and the two were not on the best of terms, in fact Flamsteed was a perfectionist and was not an easy man to get on with.
		It is hard to say exactly why Flamsteed was so bitter towards Halley but their personalities certainly clashed while there must have been a certain professional jealousy between them.

		Geologists were discovering that impact craters caused by asteroids, meteorites, and other forms of cosmic debris are the most common geologic features of the planets and their moons.
		When a meteorite strikes, the walls of the resulting crater are too steep to support themselves, so after a moment they avalanche, pushing up a big mound of dirt and rock in the center.
		One uncertainty that remains is whether the buried crater was formed by a comet, which is made mostly of water, or an iron-rich meteorite.

		In 1712, he arranged to publish Flamsteed's observations and star catalogs, an endeavor he had worked on for a long time, heavily opposed by Flamsteed - who later (in 1715) arranged to burn all remaining copies he could get, about 300 of the total edition of 400.

		Despite a rather difficult childhood, Flamsteed’s passion for observing led him to become First Observer at the Royal Observatory where his catalog of 3000 stars became the most accurate of the time.
		Flamsteed numbered stars in accordance with their right ascension location in the sky - rather than by relative brightness (Bayer’s method).
		Flamsteed numbers are still in use today and capture stars down to the 6th magnitude.

		He writes that large craters, formed soon after the moon's first cooling phase, are ancient lava dykes extruded from ring-shaped faults, while craters with no central peaks are giant burst lava bubbles formed during the second cooling phase, and craters with central peaks are volcanoes, some of which remain active.
		Major craters in this region include 37-mile-wide, 10,300-foot-deep Erastothenes; 50-mile-wide, Archimedes, partially filled by lava and with a rim 4800 feet high; Stadius, a 42-mile-wide crater "nearly engulfed" by lava, so that its flat floor is only 130 feet beneath its rim; and 24-mile-wide Autolycus.
		Here also are crater chains, which the text sheet calls volcanic in origin; Altai Scarp, a cliff 300 miles long and up to 6000 feet high; and the Leibnitz Mountains, with some peaks higher than Everest.

		In Eagle crater, where Opportunity landed, the rover was unable to get out from a 17-degree slope because of fine dust at the top of the crater's rim.
		The earliest chance to enter the crater will be next week, when it will drive to the southern edge of the crater and make a final check of the steepness of the slope.
		One theory is that the lander might have fallen into a kilometre-sized crater which was in the landing zone; although, the chances of this happening are pretty remote.
