Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Otto Wilhelm von Struve (May 7, 1819 (Julian calendar: April 25) April 14, 1905) was a Russian astronomer of Baltic German origin. In Russian his name is normally given as Otto Vasil'evich Struve ( ). Struve was born in Dorpat (Tartu), in the Governorate of Estonia as the son of Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve. He had two sons, Hermann Struve (October 3, 1854 August 12, 1920) and Ludwig Struve (November 1, 1858 November 4, 1920), who was the father of Otto Struve. Otto Wilhelm von Struve worked as his father's assistant and succeeded him as director of Pulkovo Observatory (until 1889). In 1885 a 30-inch refractor was installed at Pulkovo, at the time the largest in the world (see Great refractor). Struve continued his father's work in discovering double stars. He also observed satellites of Uranus and Neptune, and measured the rings of Saturn.
