Aug 14, 2015 -- By using a high-resolution gravitational model, a research team consisting of geodesists from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), astronomers from the US Naval Observatory and the University of Virginia, and an engineer from Analytical Graphics Inc. (AGI), conclude that a slight deflection in the natural direction of gravity at Greenwich is responsible for the 102-meter offset, along with the way astronomical time was maintained over the 20th century.
