by king charles the 1st in order that the tables showing the movements of the celestial bodies and the positions of the fixed stars might be corrected with the greatest possible care and accuracy the aim being to determine lines of longer giudice and thus to perfect the art of navigation. the problem at the time named fixing the precise position of a ship in the vast expanses of the ocean say listen been able to work out the

degree of latitude of a since antiquity simply measure the angle between the sum of the horizon would look if the horizon was moving up and down the sun was obscured by clouds and how above all of the degree of long beach would be due to. they exactly knowledge of the have them was thought provide a solution to the longet huge problem. the 1st astronomer to enter service for the king in the navy was john flamsteed night after night for more than 40 years he studied the stars in the sky over grand slams to record his observations in a unique book his atlas gillespie's was the most precise astronomical work of his day but he too was unable to provide a definitive solution to the problem of determining long if you did see. what was a captain to do on cloudy night how could he fix his position on days when the moon was changing. the long if you problem was to puzzle the seafaring nations for

almost another 100 years. today in the age of satellite navigation night after night a laser beam serves as a reminder of the prime meridian which is an imaginary line that circles the globe from greenwich. queen's house is the oldest building in greenwich park commissioned by queen anne of denmark the wife of james the 1st that was designed by any go joe. jones is architecture brought the renascence to in. the villas of andrea's palantir served as a model when inigo jones created this building to the delight of his. mathematics in structural picture of divine harmony.

in 6089 queen mary the 2nd commissions a christopher wren to grow up fans were loyal naval hospital. the architects 1st draft met with disapproval because the thames would no longer have been visible from queens perhaps so rand had to go back to the drawing board the result was a building comprised of 2 with the space center providing a clear view of the little queens house. the motto of the royal naval hospital could have been aura at labadee prayed and one. loyal chapel was billed as

a place where the veterans of the crown's navy might find salvation. the interior of the church was designed by james athenian stuart and william muta. following a fiery 1779 they renovated the originally a rock church in classical stuff. made by samuel green's. 78 to 7 the organ is regarded as the finest in the whole of thing today the melody played by the musical director of the rock chapel.

beautiful thames while mabel hospital looks quite magnificent yet it enjoyed only moderate popularity with its resident madness spent most of the adult life in the spartan conditions that existed at sea found it hard in old age to get accustomed to the extravagant opulence of the rock architecture and certainly not for the daily round was marked by military drill and pool food as one old talk inflamed pillars colonnades unsealing frescoes don't exactly go hand in hand with pickled beef and flattery all that's been watered down to. the heart of the mabel hospital is the painting for sabs is a dining it seats more than 300 that is a mark of respect 1st served by officers.

the painted hole does food justice to its name for escape of every woman huge hole and they were all painted by james for help who worked on the room for 8 teemu. paid 6685 pounds for his. this was not enough king george the 1st was not prepared to increase for children the ration but instead he raised the artist for the stock as the painted hole was suggestions for his masterpiece the acme of the rocking. keane $69.00 the royal naval hospital was closed down veterans of her majesty's

navy preferred to spend that declining years in less blended surroundings the building became the royal naval college and sept since then as a training center for naval offices. but back to the problem detailing the degree of luggage and how was it fun to be solved. visitors will find the arms are in the royal observatory at greenwich the puzzle was solved not by a physicist or a ron astronomer but by an ordinary common to from southern england john harrison at the age of 22 john harrison built his 1st chronometer he spent 60 years of his life studying how time could be measured precisely his premise was that if a navigator at sea knew the exact time in his home port then from the difference between that time and the time on board ship he could calculate the position of the

vessel in degrees latitude and long it cheap. for centuries no one had been able to make a clock that measured the time accurately at sea without being influenced by fluctuations in temperature by humidity or by the ship's motion and that was john harrison's great achievement. the h 4 is the size of a pocket watch and it represents the sum of harrison's skills on a 12 week trial voyage in 761 this little chronometer deviated from greenwich mean time by only 5 seconds. in 884 an international conference was held in washington d.c. at which 41 delegates from 25 nations agreed to be clad the line of long beach you don't which greenwich late as the prime meridian in doing so they merely confirmed

what had long become standard nautical practice because once harrison's method of determining long get you to gain acceptance mordred mall cop togaf was world wide and set the prime meridian on that chance for 200 years scientists have sought to make navigation at sea more accurate in granting. them today as it has done for the last 170 years every day at 1300 hours greenwich mean time a red bull slides down from the top of the observatory an optical signal to all captains leaving port to set the ship's chronometer. because what held true for captain james cook still applies today any navigator who wants to know the exact position of his ship at sea must 1st know precisely what time it is in rec.

good good. good.

good good. bursts. hope. of species it's. a whole worth saving. those are big changes and most start with small steps globally do is tell stories of creative people and innovate.
