	AllRefer.com - Harvard College Observatory (Astronomical Observatories) - Encyclopedia
		Harvard College Observatory, astronomical observatory located in Cambridge, Mass., operated by Harvard (Harvard College at the time of the observatory's founding in 1839).
		Programs of the Harvard Observatory include various aspects of solar physics, stellar and nebular spectroscopy and photometry, and theoretical cosmology.
		In 1973 the research programs of the Harvard College Observatory were merged with those of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to form the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics; the observatory itself, however, maintains its separate status under the control of Harvard.

		As Harvard was at the time a world leader in stellar spectroscopy, they needed an Observatory in the Southern Hemisphere to extend their groundbreaking work.
		In 1976 the Observatory was handed over to the University of the Orange Free State, who did not have the funds and astronomy student numbers to keep the Observatory operating.

	Harvard Gazette: Observatory nights put stars in community's eyes
		Welcome to Observatory Nights, a community outreach program sponsored by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) that is revved up after a yearlong hiatus, drawing packed houses month after month.
		The events, held on the third Thursday of each month, begin with a 45-minute lecture on a topic that is both of current interest in astronomy and that has relevance to a community audience.
		Though the recent incarnation of Observatory Nights comes after a yearlong layoff, Aguilar said the event has been a regular staple at the center for almost three decades.

	Leo Goldberg, January 26, 1913—November 1, 1987 \| By Lawrence H. Aller \| Biographical Memoirs
		This observatory was devoted entirely to the measurement of optical double stars; it played no role in the teaching or research of the postwar students and staff.
		When Goldberg came to Harvard he undertook an ambitious three-pronged enterprise: the building of orbiting observatories, establishment of an astrophysical laboratory, and the erection of a new building to house these activities and provide new quarters for the astronomy department.
		The organization of the observatory was thoroughly overhauled in a period of decreasing budgets.

	Reaching for the Stars
		In a small room at the Harvard Observatory more than a century ago, a group of women spent their days searching the stars.
		Harvard's female astronomers not only laid a foundation for modern astronomy, they also paved the way for women in science.
		She supervised other women at the Observatory and helped Pickering develop a system to classify the stars based on their spectrum -- a rainbow of starlight crisscrossed with a series of dark lines.

		He then went to Harvard College Observatory to undertake research into the problems of the southern Milky Way and the distribution of stars in the southern part of the sky; he gained his M.A. from Harvard in 1931 and his Ph.D. in 1934.
		The scheme was to erect the joint Armagh-Dunsink-Harvard or A.D.H. telescope at Harvard Observatory's Boyden Station, near Bloemfontein.
		Harvard would also maintain the telescope at the Boyden station, and all other facilities there would be made available to the Armagh and Dunsink observers who would spend periods there collecting the necessary research material.

	Library Preservation at Harvard: Daguerreotypes at Harvard
		The potential of photography for scientific research is stunningly exemplified in one of the first detailed daguerreotypes of the moon, taken at Harvard in 1851, as well as in images capturing the emergence of modern anesthesia at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
		Harvard's daguerreotype collection is a rich resource for scholars across disciplines including history of photography, American studies, history of theatre, history of science, and women's history.
		Catalog records for Harvard's original collection of 479 daguerreotypes, with accompanying digital images, are now available through the Visual Information Access (VIA) system, the online catalog of visual resources at Harvard.

		Determined that their Josephine shall not be taken from them, the Harvard staff indulges in counterplots calculated to foil the Waldo plots.
		There is a villain who twists his mustache desperately and a hero who lays revolver to head, but all turns out merrily enough with the ensemble giving 'three cheers and three times three for the gallant captain of the Observat'ry'.
		The high water mark of this skit was the depiction of the sad plight of Atlas on the day that he broke his arm and suffered at the same time an attack of the hives.

	Barnard Observatory
		Chancellor Barnard designed the plans for the observatory at the University of Mississippi after visiting the observatory at Harvard, built in 1844.

		She received the B.A. degree from Newnham College, Cambridge, in 1923 and, believing that opportunity would be greater for a female astronomer in the New World, began work that year as the first graduate student in astronomy at the Harvard Observatory.
		In 1934 she married fellow Harvard astronomer Sergei I. Gaposchkin, with whom she made several million observations of thousands of variable stars.
		In 1938 she was appointed Phillips astronomer in the Harvard College Observatory without limit of time and lecturer on astronomy, becoming the first woman to receive tenure in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS).

		The telescope chosen was to be a twin of the 15" Merz and Mahler refractor at the Polkova Observatory, Russia.
		In his report on the observatory in the fall of 1863 George Phillips Bond mentioned the concern that the fate of Major Coolidge was still unknown.
		Back at the observatory in Cambridge, George Phillips Bond, despite the fact that funding for the observatory was scare, felt honor bound to keep the work at the same level it had been before the war, and so worked very long and hard, even with his declining health.

		Payne-Gaposchkin's discovery that hydrogen was the most abundant substance in the universe is not officially or generally credited to her, this discovery having been made when she was a 25-year old doctoral candidate at Harvard.
		Payne-Gaposchkin's dissertation (Monograph No. 1 at the Harvard College Observatory) was "undoubtedly the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy." Otto Struve and Velta Zebergs, Astronomy of the 20th Century (New York: Macmillan, 1962): 220.
		Payne-Gaposchkin helped forge a path for other women scientists because of her strong fight against sex discrimination at Harvard College Observatory and by her example, which discredited the notion that women could not excel in the field of astronomy.

		Since its founding in 1839, the Harvard College Observatory has pioneered in the development of modern astronomy.
		Its first directors early recognized the potential of spectroscopy in revealing the constitution of the stars, and of photography in determining the positions and motions of celestial objects; the library of photographic plates made under their direction provides an invaluable history of the stellar universe for the period.
		The Observatory also pioneered in using the talents of women, several of whom became noted astronomers, and their monumental classification of stars from spectral records constitutes a fundamental contribution to astronomical knowledge.
