Newcomb participated in several eclipse expeditions and in 1882 went to the Cape of Good Hope to observe the transit of Venus. The record of many of his researches was published in the Astronomical Papers of the American Ephemeris, a series that he established in 1879. His investigations and computations of the orbits of six planets resulted in his tables of the planetary system, which were almost universally adopted by the observatories of the world. Newcomb urged the use of a common system of constants and fundamental stars by astronomers of all nations. A subject to which he devoted many years of study was the theory of the moon's motion.

Extractions: Canadian-born American mathematical astronomer and one of the foremost exponents of celestial mechanics of his time, who became Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac Office in 1877. On the subject of other life and intelligence in the Universe, Newcomb was non-committal, but he argued against the anthropocentric ideas of Alfred Russell Wallace and was prepared to accept the possibility that Earthlike conditions may not be essential for the development of life. In the debate over the existence of the Martian canals , Newcomb made a significant contribution with his experiments involving artificial disks and his conclusion that any linear markings were probably optical illusions.

http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/N/Newcomb/1.html

Extractions: Canadian-born US mathematician and astronomer who compiled charts and tables of astronomical data with phenomenal accuracy. His calculations of the motions of the bodies in the Solar System were in use as daily reference all over the world for more than 50 years, and the system of astronomical constants for which he was most responsible is still the standard. Newcomb was born in Wallace, Nova Scotia, and had little or no formal education. In his teens he ran away to the USA, and eventually enrolled at Harvard. In 1861 he joined the navy, where he was assigned to the US Naval Observatory at Washington DC, and in 1877 put in charge of the American Nautical Almanac office. From 1884 he was also professor of mathematics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University. He retired with the rank of rear admiral. At the Nautical Almanac office, Newcomb started the great work that was to occupy the rest of his life: the calculation of the motions of the bodies in the Solar System. The results were published in Astronomical Papers Prepared for the Use of the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac, a series that he founded 1879.
