This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... THE ZODIACAL LIGHT THIS mysterious phenomenon is not, strictly speaking, a stellar object, although it is unquestionaably connected with a star--our own sun. Like the constellations and the Milky Way, it has long attracted a great deal of attention, although it is too indefinite to have any mythological associations, and even yet its nature is not well understood. The general opinion at present is that the Zodiacal Light is a faint extension of the sun's corona. It is generally described as a cone - shaped or lenticular light, rising above the western horizon after sunset and above the eastern horizon before sunrise, but not to be seen at all seasons. It is especially a naked-eye object, for it is too diffuse to be observed with a telescope, and attempts to photograph it are not very successful. The light lies in, or very near, the plane of the ecliptic, and consequently is best seen when the ecliptic makes the steepest angle with the horizon. For our latitudes this occurs in the evening during February, March, and April, and in the morning during September and October. It can be traced in a clear sky, and in the absence of moonlight to a distance of about sixty degrees from the sun. Of course, it cannot be seen while the sun is above the horizon, and not immediately after sunset or before sunrise. It is sometimes confounded with twilight, but its distinct nature may be immediately recognized from its shape. Naturally it is best seen in equatorial regions, and Lieutenant Jones, who made a special study of it many years ago, traced it past the zenith, and believed that he could follow it completely across the sky. It ought, indeed, to be thus visible, under favorable circumstances, if it be what it is supposed to be--a nebulous envelope...

Download or read book Astronomy with the Naked Eye (1908) written by Garrett P. Serviss and published by Book Jungle. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The specific things undertaken in this book are: First, the presentation of a set of star-charts, accompanying and illustrating the text, and containing the constellation figures, so that the reader may see those strange forms that the imaginations of men for thousands of years have drawn in the sky. The sixth-magnitude stars are visible to ordinarily good eyes, but they are inconspicuous. The charts are reductions from Heis's Atlas Calestis. Second, the march of the constellations across the sky, resulting from the annual revolution of the earth in its orbit, is followed from month to month, and they are presented in the text according to the times of their successive arrivals near the meridian, the north and south line of the sky. The appearance of the constellations, as viewed with the naked eye, is described, their histories and mythologies are given, and the stories of their chief stars and star groups are detailed. For the convenience of those who have telescopes, some of the double stars and other interesting telescopic objects in each constellation are described and their positions indicated. Third, the planets are described in a separate chapter, with illustrations intended to enable the uninitiated reader to follow their paths among the stars and to predict their approximate places for himself. In consequence of their constant motion, the planets cannot be indicated by symbols definitely located on the charts like the fixed stars. To sum up, the general purpose is to revive and cultivate interest in the picturesque and easily understood side of astronomy, so that everybody who wishes may "feel at home in the starry heavens," may share in the great intellectual pleasures whichan acquaintance with them invariably gives, and may understand and enjoy the references to the stars, the constellations, and the planets that abound in all literatures and in all the periodicals of the day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gazing up at the heavens from our backyards or a nearby field, most of us see an undifferentiated mess of stars—if, that is, we can see anything at all through the glow of light pollution. Today’s casual observer knows far less about the sky than did our ancestors, who depended on the sun and the moon to tell them the time and on the stars to guide them through the seas. Nowadays, we don’t need the sky, which is good, because we’ve made it far less accessible, hiding it behind the skyscrapers and the excessive artificial light of our cities. How We See the Sky gives us back our knowledge of the sky, offering a fascinating overview of what can be seen there without the aid of a telescope. Thomas Hockey begins by scanning the horizon, explaining how the visible universe rotates through this horizon as night turns to day and season to season. Subsequent chapters explore the sun’s and moon’s respective motions through the celestial globe, as well as the appearance of solstices, eclipses, and planets, and how these are accounted for in different kinds of calendars. In every chapter, Hockey introduces the common vocabulary of today’s astronomers, uses examples past and present to explain them, and provides conceptual tools to help newcomers understand the topics he discusses. Packed with illustrations and enlivened by historical anecdotes and literary references, How We See the Sky reacquaints us with the wonders to be found in our own backyards.

Download or read book Naked Eye ASTRONOMY written by Zahir Dhalla and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a solid foundation for naked-eye astronomy. It starts with exploring the total context behind our night sky: from the universe, to its galaxies, to star systems, all the way down to our own star system - the solar system - and its various motions that affect our view of the sky. The rest of the book then focusses on our night sky. The various coordinate systems in use are described, as well as star naming conventions. It shows step-by-step the building up of the Celestial Sphere representing our sky. It covers in detail two common approaches: (1) Coordinates, and (2) Graphical. It takes you through Tours and Walkabouts in the sky. It shows you how to use everyday photography to overcome 'light pollution'. It's chock-full of diagrams supplementing the text, nearly 90 figures in all. A catalog of over 300 stars is provided in various ways to make it easy to interpret the sky. No instruments are required (only your fist-n-thumb), and for the few simple gadgets that one might want to try out, their easy construction (i.e. home-made) is fully explained in detail, with diagrams.
