Today in Space History...

1811: On 9 February 1811, Nevil Maskelyne died.
 
Maskelyne was a British astronomer noted for his contribution to the science of navigation. In 1761 the Royal Society sent Maskelyne to the island of St Helena to make accurate measurements of a transit of Venus. This in turn gave the distance from Earth to the Sun, and the scale of the Solar System.
During the voyage he also experimented with the lunar position method of determining longitude.
