(261026) -- LONDON, Oct. 26, 2026 (Xinhua) -- A visitor views a time-themed exhibition at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, Britain, on Oct. 25, 2026. The Royal Observatory in Greenwich was founded in 1675 to improve navigation at sea through astronomical observations and help ships determine their longitude. As the home of Greenwich Mean Time, it holds an important place in the history of astronomy, precision timekeeping and navigation. In 1884, the meridian passing through the observatory was adopted as the international Prime Meridian, establishing a common reference for measuring longitude worldwide. This historic line is still marked at the observatory today. (Xinhua/Li Mangmang)
