1. Title: "Astronomer Royal Frank Dyson Taking a Reading at Greenwich Observatory, 1911" This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the prestigious Greenwich Observatory in London, as Astronomer Royal, Frank Dyson, diligently takes a celestial reading using an altazimuth theodolite. The year is 1911, and the historical significance of this image lies in the continuity of tradition and scientific discovery that the observatory represents.
