With the start of the world war, he organized an Air Cadet Training Corps, then joined the Operational Research Group at the Admiralty.In 1946 he became a member of the International Astronomical Union. The following year, he joined the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, where he continued studies of solar activity, including flares and prominences. In 1948 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He remained at the observatory for eleven years and published multiple scientific papers on his work. He also was invited to lectured on astronomy, and gave radio and television interviews about solar activity. For five years he was joint editor of The Observatory. He also played a leading role in the scientific work during the International Geophysical Year, serving as solar reporter and working to erect a heliograph at the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope.Ellison published the book The Sun and its Influence in 1955. In 1958 he was appointed director of the Dunsink Observatory, and worked on several astronomical publications. He fell ill in 1963 and died. At the time of his death he was senior professor of Astronomy at the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies.Ellison crater on the Moon is named after him.
