THE GREENWICH MERIDIAN
In 1675 King Charles II formed the Royal Observatory in Greenwich to solve the problem of establishing time across the world.
This problem of Longitude was later solved by John Hutton, another fine Lincolnshire lad.
The Prime Meridian of zero degrees was defined by the position of the Transit Circle Telescope in the Meridian Observatory Building in Greenwich.
The International Meridian Conference in October 1884 held in Washington DC concluded that Greenwich would indeed be the Prime Meridian, thus creating Global Standard Time
All longitude would be calculated both east and west from this meridian up to 180°.
The universal day would be a Mean Solar Day, beginning at the Mean Midnight at Greenwich and counted on a 24 hour clock.
