  • Cyril Jackson (December 5, 1903 – February 1988) was a South African astronomer. He was born in Ossett, Yorkshire in England, but his father emigrated to South Africa in 1911. He worked at Union Observatory in Johannesburg from 1928 to 1947 (IAU code 078, previously known as Transvaal Observatory and later known as Republic Observatory). He served with South African forces in the second world war, and was mentioned in despatches. After the war he was director of the Yale-Columbia Southern Observatory (YCSO) station in Johannesburg (IAU code 077), which had been established by Yale University in the 1920s. Columbia University subsequently collaborated in that venture and the operation became known as the Yale-Columbia Southern Observatory (YCSO, Inc. was formally created in 1962). Due to light pollution that observatory had to be shut down in 1951 and he supervised the move of its instrument, a 26-inch refracting telescope, to Mount Stromlo Observatory in Australia (IAU code 414). This Yale-Columbia telescope was given to the Australian National University in July 1963, and was destroyed in the January 18, 2003 firestorm that devastated Mount Stromlo. Jackson worked at Mount Stromlo from 1957 to 1963. In 1963, Yale reopened its Columbia Southern Observatory at El Leoncito, Argentina (IAU code 808), and he served as its director there until 1966, when he retired. He discovered a number of comets, including the periodic comets 47P/Ashbrook-Jackson and 58P/Jackson-Neujmin. He also discovered a number of asteroids and minor planets in the earlier part of his career at Union Observatory.
  • Cyril V. Jackson fue un astrónomo sudafricano nacido en Yorkshire, Inglaterra que vivió en Sudáfrica desde 1911. Trabajó en el Observatorio Union de Johannesburgo entre 1928 y 1947. Llegó a ser director del Observatorio Sur Yale-Columbia de Johanesburgo. Tras el cierre del observatorio en 1951 debido a la polución luminosa de la cercana Johannesburgo, Jackson supervisó el traslado del telescopio principal del mismo al Observatorio de Mount Stromlo, en Australia. Tras la reapertura del Observatorio Sur Yale-Columbia en el Observatorio El Leoncito, actual Observatorio Félix Aguilar, en Argentina, llevó su dirección desde 1963 hasta su jubilación en 1966. Descubrió asteroides y cometas como 47P/Ashbrook-Jackson o 58P/Jackson-Neujmin
  • Nacque nello Yorkshire, in Inghilterra, ma suo padre emigrò in Sudafrica nel 1911. Lavorò presso all'Osservatorio dell'Unione (noto in precedenza come Osservatorio del Transvaal ed in seguito come Osservatorio della Repubblica) a Johannesburg dal 1928 al 1947. In seguito divenne direttore dello Yale's Columbia Southern Observatory, ancora a Johannesburg. A causa dell'inquinamento luminoso questo osservatorio fu demolito nel 1951, e Jackson supervisionò il trasferimento del telescopio presso l'Osservatorio di Mount Stromlo, in Australia. Qui lavorò dal 1957 fino al 1963. In quell'anno, Yale riaprì il suo osservatorio australe presso El Leoncito, in Argentina, dove Jackson si trasferì come direttore, e dove rimase fino al suo ritiro, nel 1966. Scoprì un gran numero di comete, inclusi gli oggetti periodici 47P/Ashbrook-Jackson e 58P/Jackson-Neujmin. Fu anche lo scopritore di parecchi asteroidi nella prima parte della sua carriera presso l'Osservatorio dell'Unione.
  • Cyril V. Jackson – astronom południowoafrykański, odkrywca 72 planetoid oraz trzech komet. Urodził się w Anglii, ale kiedy miał siedem lat jego rodzina wyjechała do Johannesburga. Do odkrytych przez niego obiektów należą komety okresowe 47P/Ashbrook-Jackson oraz 58P/Jackson-Neujmin.

  • Сирил Джексон — южноафриканский астроном. Он родился в городе Оссетт, Великобритания. Эмигрировал вместе с отцом в Южную Африку в 1911 году. С 1928 по 1947 год работал в республиканской обсерватории Йоханнесбурга, где 5 апреля 1929 года открыл свой первый астероид (1116) Катриона. С 1957 по 1963 год жил в Австралии, где работал в обсерватории Маунт-Стромло, недалеко от города Канберра. С 1963 по 1967 год был директором астрономической обсерватории имени Феликса Агилара, недалеко от города Сан-Хуан, Аргентина. За свою жизнь открыл 72 астероида и 3 кометы. В честь Сирила Джексона был назван астероид (2193) Джексон.
