Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of Astronomy: During the Nineteenth Century The progress of astronomy during the last hundred years has been rapid and extraordinary. In its distinctive features, moreover, the nature of that progress has been such as to lend itself with facility to untechnical treatment. To this circumstance the present volume owes its origin. It embodies an attempt to enable the ordinary reader to follow, with intelligent interest, the course of modern astronomical inquiries, and to realize (so far as it can at present be realized) the full effect of the comprehensive change in the whole aspect, purposes, and methods of celestial science introduced by the momentous discovery of spectrum analysis. Since Professor Grant's invaluable work on the History of Physical Astronomy was published, a third of a century has elapsed. During the interval a so-called new astronomy has grown up by the side of the old. One effect of its advent has been to render the science of the heavenly bodies more popular, both in its needs and in its nature, than formerly. More popular in its needs, since its progress now primarily depends upon the interest in, and consequent efforts towards its advancement of the general public; more popular in its nature, because the kind of knowledge it now chiefly tends to accumulate is more easily intelligible - less remote from ordinary experience - than that evolved by the aid of the calculus from materials collected by the use of the transit-instrument and chrono graph.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Physical Astronomy, From the Earliest Ages to the Middle of the 19th Century But mere Observation cannot constitute science. Facts, however care fully recorded, must be subsequently scrutinized, compared, and classified, before any general conclusions can be derived from them, relative to the arrangements of the material universe. The astronomers of Asia, al though patient observers, do not appear to have in any age aspired to this more exalted occupation of the mind. The Greeks first reduced the knowledge relative to the celestial motions into a systematic form. This Object was not, however, effected during the early period of Grecian his tory. The Chaldeans, by confining their attention to the mere occurrence Of phenomena, were unable to arrive at general views of the celestial motions; the philosophers of the Grecian schools, on the other hand, long wasted their transcendent talents in groundless speculations, which were equally ineffectual in producing any permanent influence on the progress of Astronomy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Astronomy Two objects have been kept in view in preparing this little book. One was to condense those facts and laws of the science which are of most interest and importance to the general intelligent public within so small a compass as not to make a very serious addition to the curriculum of the high school or college. The other was so to present the subject that as little formal mathematics as possible should be noces sary to its mastery. Of the first object little need be said. The typical person constantly kept in mind has been the inquiring layman seek ing to know something of the heavenly bodies and their rela tion to the earth, including such subjects of human interest as the changing seasons, the measure of time, and the varying aspects of the planets.

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. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...motion (chapter iv., 92), which was not actually detected till long afterwards (chapter xiii., 278), is called annual or stellar parallax (the adjective being frequently omitted); and the name is applied in particular to the greatest angle between the direction of the star as seen from the sun and as seen from the earth in the course of the year. If in fig. 69 we regard M as representing a star, o the sun, and the circle as being the earth's path round the sun, then the angle Omq is the annual parallax of M. In this particular case Cassini deduced from Richer's observations, by some rather doubtful processes, that the sun's parallax was about 9" '5, corresponding to a distance from the earth of about 87,000,000 miles, or about 360 times the distance of the moon, the most probable value, according to modern estimates (chapter xiii., 284), being a little less than 93,000,000. Though not really an accurate result, this was an enormous improvement on anything that had gone before, as Ptolemy's estimate of the sun's distance, corresponding to a parallax of 3', had survived up to the earlier part of the 17th century, and although it was generally believed to be seriously wrong, most corrections of it had been purely conjectural (chapter' vii., i45) 162. Another famous discovery associated with the early days of the Paris Observatory was that of the velocity of light. In 1671 Picard paid a visit to Denmark to examine what was left of Tycho Brahe's observatory at Hveen, and brought back a young Danish astronomer, Olaus Roemer (1644-1710), to help him at Paris. Roemer, in studying the motion of Jupiter's moons, observed (1675) that the intervals between successive eclipses of a moon (the eclipse being caused...
