Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moon in Modern Astronomy: A Summary of Twenty Years Selenographic Work, and a Study of Recent Problems The moon being the nearest celestial body to the earth naturally forms an object of especial interest. Its mean distance from the earth is about 238,840 miles, but, owing to the elliptical shape of its orbit, this distance is sometimes increased to nearly 253,000, and sometimes diminished to about 221,600 miles. The mean period of revolution round the earth is 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, 111/2 seconds, and as it rotates on its axis in the same time that it revolves round the earth, this is also the length of its day. Its diameter is about 2160 miles, so that in volume the earth is about 491/4 times larger. In mass, however, the earth is about 81 times greater, and hence the moon's density is equal to 491/4 divided by 81, or about 0 608 that of the earth, or taking the earth's density as 5 53, that of the moon is 3 36 (water equal unity). From the above data it follows that the force of gravity at the moon's surface is about one-sixth of terrestrial gravity. If, therefore, a man of 12 stone weight were transferred to the moon he would weigh only 2 stone, so that a much larger race of men than ourselves would be theoretically possible on the moon.

Download or read book The Birth of Modern Astronomy written by Harm J. Habing and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book discusses the ways in which astronomy expanded after 1945 from a modest discipline to a robust and modern science. It begins with an introduction to the state of astronomy in 1945 before recounting how in the following years, initial observations were made in hitherto unexplored ranges of wavelengths, such as X-radiation, infrared radiation and radio waves. These led to the serendipitous discovery of more than a dozen new phenomena, including quasars and neutron stars, that each triggered a new area of research. The book goes on to discuss how after 1985, the further, systematic exploration of the earlier discoveries led to long-term planning and the construction of new, large telescopes on Earth and in Space. Key scientific highlights described in the text are the detection of exoplanets (1995), the unexpected discovery of the accelerated expansion of the Universe (1999), a generally accepted model for the large-scale properties of the Universe (2003) and the ΛCDM theory (2005) that explains how the galaxies and stars of the present Universe were formed from minute irregularities in the (almost) homogenous gas that filled the early Universe. All these major scientific achievements came at a price, namely the need to introduce two new phenomena that are as yet unexplained by physics: inflation and dark energy. Probably the deepest unsolved question has to be: Why did all of this start with a Big Bang?

Download or read book The Andromeda Galaxy and the Rise of Modern Astronomy written by David Schultz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Andromeda Galaxy – Messier’s M31 – has an almost romantic appeal. It is the most distant object and the only extragalactic object that is visible to the unaided human eye. Now known to be about 21⁄2 million light-years away, it appears in the sky to be several times the width of the full Moon under good seeing conditions. The Andromeda Galaxy and the Rise of Modern Astronomy examines the astronomical studies of Andromeda and its importance to our developing knowledge of the universe. The book discusses how M31 was described both by the Ancients, but more importantly, by astronomers from the nineteenth century to the present. While at the start of the twentieth century the universe was thought of as a finite cosmos dominated by the Milky Way, the study of Andromeda galaxy shattered that image, leading ultimately to the conception of an infinite universe of countless galaxies and vast distances. Even today, M31 is a major focal point for new astronomical discoveries, and it also remains one of the most popular (and rewarding) celestial objects for amateur astronomers to observe and study. This book reveals the little-known history of M31 and the scientists who study it. For all who are interested in astronomy, the skies, and perhaps even the origins of the universe, The Andromeda Galaxy and the Rise of Modern Astronomy provides a first-of-its-kind accessible, informative, and highly readable account of how the study and observation of this celestial object has driven the development of astronomy from ancient times to the present.
