This is revelant to markets and economics due to the historical facts associated with the question.

When was the first weather map published in an Aussie newspaper?

The date?

The newspaper?

The FULL name of the person who made the map?

Enjoy your research & for those in Sydney who visit the Observatory, Ineed the weight of the HUGE Silver cup given to the man.
 
I am asking the questions....

I am a descendant of the person in question.

It is me & my Two brothers who have consented to the HUGE Silver cup to be on loan & display & the Sydney Location.

So maybe this thread is to confirm that the cup is being looked after in a good way.

I remember it as about 2ft tall .......

Slightly off topic, but the astronomy link reminded me that the international space station is due to fly past south eastern australia in approx an hour's time

Time: Mon Jan 21/10:18 PM, Visible: 1 min, Max Height: 63 degrees, Appears: SW, Disappears: S

It is a bright light that travels at approx 8km/hr. Hopefully it's not too late tonight as usually best to see near dusk or dawn when best reflecting the sun.
