Book Synopsis Sketching the Moon by : Richard Handy
Download or read book Sketching the Moon written by Richard Handy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone artistically inclined, observing the Moon and attempting to sketch or paint it can easily become a passion. The Moon presents a broad array of tone, texture, and form. Capturing this in a painting or sketch at the eyepiece of a telescope – or even with binoculars – develops observational skills, leaves a record of the observation, and can also be a delightful and rewarding pastime. However, the choice of media available is extensive (acrylic paint, oils, pen, charcoal, etc., and even computer art programs), and there is no existing text that fully explains all lunar sketching and painting techniques in each respective medium. This beautiful and graphically rich book fulfills this requirement. It presents detailed step-by-step instructions, in the form of illustrated tutorials for every major medium employed to represent the Moon. It also provides practical advice on how to sketch outdoors at night (not ideal conditions for an artist!). This is easily the most extensive book on the subject of lunar art for amateur astronomers, particularly those observing through a telescope. The diverse features of the lunar surface will attract and entice readers to review the number of different media presented, exciting and inspiring them with the possibilities of learning to depict all of the fascinating aspects of Earth's very own satellite.

Book Synopsis Galileo's Planet by : Thomas A Hockey
Download or read book Galileo's Planet written by Thomas A Hockey and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the earliest times one of the brightest lights in the heavens has been that of Jupiter, mythical king of the gods and the largest planet in the solar system. It was only natural that peoples from the dawn of history would be interested in such a planet and, indeed, Jupiter was one of the first objects to be observed with the telescope. Even today Jupiter captures the public interest like no other planet: a vast gaseous world, home to violent storms (larger than the Earth) that have raged for centuries. Galileo's Planet: Observing Jupiter before Photography presents the history of humankind's quest to understand the giant planet in the era before photography, a time when the only way to observe the universe was with the human eye. The book provides a comprehensive and fascinating account of the people involved in this quest, their observations, and the results of their findings. Many of the planetary features studied in detail by today's space probes were once glimpsed by keen-eyed, amateur astronomers. These Earth-bound explorers made up for their modest instruments and viewing conditions with their patience, perseverance, and passion for the night sky. Their greatest challenge was the fifth planet from the Sun and the search for its imagined surface-a revelation of the "real Jupiter." In the process, these part-time observers redefined the meaning of the word "planet." The book recounts their story from the earliest times right up until the invention of the camera.

Book excerpt: POPULAR ASTRONOMY. BY SIMON NBWCOMB, LL. IX, PROFESSOR, U. S. NAVAL OBSERVATORY. WITH ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE ENGRAVINGS, AND FIVE MAPS OF THE STARS. HP n b a n MACMILLAN AND CO. 1878. THE GREAT TELESCOPE OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL OBSERVA TORY, WASHINGTON. CONSTRUCTED BY ALVAN CLAIIK AND SONS, 1873. PREFACE. To prevent a possible misapprehension in scientific quar ters, the author desires it understood that the present work is not designed either to instruct the professional investi gator or to train the special student of astronomy. Its main object is to present the general reading public with a con densed view of the history, methods, and results of astro nomical research, especially in those fields which are of most popular and philosophic interest at the present day, couched in such language as to be intelligible without mathematical study. He hopes that the earlier chapters will, for the most part, be readily understood by any one having clear geomet rical ideas, and that the later ones will be intelligible to all. To diminish the difficulty which the reader may encounter from the unavoidable occasional use of technical terms, a Glossary has been added, including, it is believed, all that are used in the present work, as well as a number of others which may be met with elsewhere. Respecting the general scope of the work, it may be said that the historic and philosophic sides of the subject have been treated with greater fulness than is usual in works of this character, while the purely technical side has been pro portionately condensed. Of the four parts into which it is divided, the first two treat of the methods by which the mo vi PREFACE. tions and the mutual relations of the heavenly bodies have been investigated, and of the results of such investigation, while in the last two the individual peculiarities of those bodies are considered in greater detail. The subject of the general structure and probable development of the universe, which, in strictness, might be considered as belonging to the first part, is, of necessity, treated last of all, because it re quires all the light that can be thrown upon it from every available source. Matter admitting of presentation in tabular form has, for the most part, been collected in the Appendix, where will be found a number of brief articles for the use of both the general reader and the amateur astronomer. The author has to acknowledge the honor done him by several eminent astronomers in making his work more com plete and interesting by their contributions. Owing to the great interest which now attaches to the question of the con stitution of the sun, and the rapidity with which our knowl edge in this direction is advancing, it was deemed desirable to present the latest views of the most distinguished investi gators of this subject from their own pens. Four of these gentlemen Rev. Father Secchi, of Rome M. Faye, of Paris Professor Young, of Dartmouth College and Professor Lang ley, of Allegheny Observatory have, at the authors request, presented brief expositions of their theories, which will be found in their own language in the chapter on the sun. An Addendum gives the basis of the remarkable modifi cation of the theory of the solar spectrum proposed by Dr. Henry Draper, which appeared while the sheets were passing through the press. CONTENTS.
