Joining the 2009 International Year of Astronomy's Cosmic Diary project, this blog transcribes 19th-century working journals kept by the Astronomer Royal and Chief Assistant of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Transcription and comments are provided by a 21st-century curator working on the same site.
