John Robie Eastman was born on July 29, 1836 in Andover, New Hampshire, United States. He was the son of Royal F. Eastman and Sophronia Mavo, descendants of Roger Eastman, who came to Salem in 1638, and of John Mayo, the first pastor of North Church in Boston.
He graduated from Dartmouth, with the M. S. degree, in 1862.
Soon after his graduation from Dartmouth, with the M. S. degree, in 1862, he obtained a position as assistant astronomer at the Naval Observatory. Three years later he was promoted to the rank of professor of mathematics. He remained there until his retirement in 1898.
Some years later he was given the rank of rear admiral.
From 1872 to 1882 Eastman edited the publications of the Observatory, but the greater part of his life-work in astronomy is represented by a single volume, called the Second Washington Catalogue of Stars, published in 1898.
It is a peculiarity of this type of research that observations with a meridian circle, continued for many years, furnish material for very laborious and time-consuming computation but for only a thin volume of results.
The few figures printed in each line of the catalogue represent many hours of work the value of which to astronomers and laymen is permanent and cumulative.
In 1869 Eastman went to Iowa to observe a total eclipse of the sun.
A year later he went on a similar expedition to Sicily, and again, in 1878, to Colorado.
The observations were made visually, and each observer recorded or sketched his impressions as best he could.
In 1882 the government sent out eight expeditions to different parts of the world to observe the transit of Venus, an event which gave promise of yielding an accurate value for the distance of the sun.
Eastman, in charge of one of the parties, was sent to Florida.
He also took part in the determination of the longitudes of certain places in the United States.
At various times Eastman was president of the Philosophical Society of Washington, president of the Washington Academy of Sciences, general secretary and vice-president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
He was one of that distinguished group of astronomers which included Newcomb and Hall and which gave substantial reputation to the Naval Observatory. In addition to his scientific studies he published a History of the Town of Andover, New Hampshire, 1851-1906 (1910), containing genealogical as well as historical data.

He was married, on December 25, 1866, to Mary J. Ambrose, of Boscawen, New Hampshire.
