Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve ((ロシア語:Vasily Yakovlevich Struve , Василий Яковлевич Струве)) (April 15, 1793 – November 23, 1864 (Julian calendar: November 11)) was a German astronomer from a famous dynasty. ==Life== He was born at Altona, Duchy of Holstein (then a part of the Denmark–Norway kingdoms), the son of Jacob Struve (1755–1841). Struve's father moved the family away from the French occupation to Dorpat in Imperial Russia to avoid military service,〔V. K. Abalkin ''et al.'' (Struve dynasty ) (in Russian), St. Petersburg University〕〔(Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve )〕 equipped with Danish passports. In 1808 he entered the Imperial University of Dorpat, where he first studied philology, but soon turned his attention to astronomy. From 1813 to 1820, he taught at the university and collected data at the Dorpat Observatory, and in 1820 became a full professor and director of the observatory. His teachings have had strong effect that is still felt in at the university.〔〔〔 Struve was occupied with research on double stars and geodesy in Dorpat until 1839, when he founded and became director of the new Pulkovo Observatory near St Petersburg. Among other honors, he won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1826.
