Sir Frank Watson Dyson, KBE, FRS, FRSE (8 January 1868 – 25 May 1939) was an English astronomer and the ninth Astronomer Royal who is remembered today largely for introducing time signals ("pips") from Greenwich, England, and for the role he played in proving Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Frank Watson Dyson (Measham, 8 de janeiro de 1868 — mar de Cidade do Cabo,25 de maio de 1939) foi um astrônomo inglês. Dyson viveu de 1894 a 1906 em Blackheath, Londres. De 1905 a 1910 foi Astronomer Royal for Scotland, e de 1910 a 1933 Astrônomo Real Britânico e ao mesmo tempo diretor do Observatório de Greenwich.
Dyson spent his entire career, except for five years in Edinburgh, at the Royal Greenwich Observatory, where he was Director and Astronomer Royal from 1910 to 1933. At Greenwich he directed measurements of terrestrial magnetism, latitude, and time, and he initiated the radio broadcast of time.

21 de mai. de 2024 · Sir Frank Dyson was a British astronomer who in 1919 organized observations of stars seen near the Sun during a solar eclipse, which provided evidence supporting Einstein’s prediction in the theory of general relativity of the bending of light in a gravitational field. In 1894 Dyson became chief.
