John M. Thome

John Macon Thome (August 22, 1843 – September 27, 1908) was an American-Argentine astronomer.

He came to the Argentine National Observatory (today Observatorio Astronómico de Córdoba) in 1870, working as the senior assistant of the director Benjamin A. Gould.

Under his initiative, the Cordoba Durchmusterung star catalogue began to be compiled in 1892, although he did not live to see its completion.

[1] Thome died in Córdoba and was succeeded as director of the observatory by Charles Dillon Perrine.
