Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Solar System: Six Lectures Delivered at the Massachusetts, Institute of Technology, in December, 1902 IN the long perspective of knowledge, which begins with the close at hand and stretches to the infinitely remote, the solar system marks a middle distance. Between the intimacy possible with objects on this Earth and the distant recognition of the universe of suns, it furnishes an acquaint anceship combining something of the interest of the one with the grandeur of the other.

Download or read book The Solar System written by Charles Lane Poor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Solar System: A Study of Recent Observations His work grew out of a series of lectures de livered at Columbia University. Intended for the general student, these were mainly historical and were used to supplement standard text-books and to guide the students in their reading. An at tempt was made to present the subject in untechnical language and without the use of mathematics; to show by what steps the precise knowledge of to-day has been reached, and to explain the marvellous results of modern methods and modern observations. The subject of the present volume, the Solar Sys tem, covers such a wide field that, in order to keep within reasonable bounds, many interesting subjects had to be omitted. To this may be attributed the rather scant mention of many important matters and the entire elimination of others. Eclipses of the sun, the most impressive of astronomical phenomena, have been passed over with but brief mention in con nection with the study of solar physics. On the other hand considerable space has been devoted to the Tides and to Tidal Evolution, subjects but briefly treated in most astronomical works.

Download or read book The Story of Eclipses (Classic Reprint) written by George F. Chambers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Eclipses Inasmuch as the Earth and the Moon are for our present purpose pratically solid bodies, each must cast a shadow into space as the result of being illuminated by the Sun, regarded as a source of light. What we shall eventually have to consider is: What results arise from the existence of these Shadows according to the Circum stances under which they are viewed P But before reach ing this point, some other preliminary considerations must be dealt with. The various bodies which together make up the solar system, that is to say, in particular, those bodies called the planets - some of them primary, others second ary (alias Satellites or Moons - are constantly in motion. Consequently, if we imagine a line to be drawn between any two at any given time, such a line will point in a different direction at another time, and so it may occasionally happen that three of these ever-moving bodies will come into one and the same straight line. Now the consequences of this state Of things were admir ably well pointed out nearly half a century ago by a popu lar writer, who in his day greatly aided the development of science amongst the masses. When one of the ex tremes of the series of three bodies which thus assume a common direction is the Sun, the intermediate body de prives the other extreme body, either wholly or partially.

This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Solar System, Illustrated by the Geoselenean The object of this arrangement is to give the true position of the earth's axis and to show not only day, night, the seasons, etc; but also the recession of the equinoxes and its effects. The number of the teeth of the wheel P is proportioned relatively to those of the wheels which ao tuate it, and for instruments of moderate size the wheels L and M may have one-fourth as many teeth as H has, while P has one tooth less than H, to obtain a slow rotation of the wheel P relatively to the sun. The small wheel S aids in obtaining this result by reversing the direction of the rotation of the wheel P. At the outer end of the sleeve J beyond the wheel M formerly men tinned are two wheels N and O, the former of which gears into the spur wheel Q, which rotates upon and independently of the inner sleeve to which the moon-carrier is attached. On the outer sleeve there is an oh lique circular plane forming a track for the roller of the moon-carrier. The revolution of the wheel Q with the oblique plane preserves the moon's orbit in its true position in reference to the orbit of the earth. The pro portion of the number of teeth in the wheels N and Q is such that Q makes about one-eighteenth of a revolution in the period of a year and thus shows the recession of the moon's nodes and regulates the phenomena of solar and lunar eclipses. The crown-wheel R is attached to the upper end of an inner sleeve and is revolved with it by means of the gear-wheel O, on the end of the sleeve J which wheel meshes into a horizontal wheel and this again into a pinion on the inner sleeve. These two wheels are under the wheel Q and are concealed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tides and Kindred Phenomena in the Solar System: The Substance of Lectures Delivered in at the Lowell Institute, Boston, Massachusetts In 1897 I delivered a course of lectures on the Tides at the Lowell Institute in Boston Massachusetts and this book contains the substance of what I then said. The personal form of address appropriate to a lecture is I think, apt to be rather tiresome in a book, and I have therefore taken pains to eliminate all traces of the lecture from what I have written. A mathematical argument is, after all, only organized common sense, and it is well that men of science should not always expound their work to the few behind a veil of technical language, but should from time to time explain to a larger public the reasoning which lies behind their mathematical notation. To a man unversed in popular exposition it needs a great effort to shell away the apparatus of investigation and the technical mode of speech from the thing behind it, and I owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Lowell, trustee of the Institute, for having afforded me the occasion for making that effort.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comets: Their Origin, Nature and History To introduce our brief study of Comets a glance at the Solar System will be in place. The ancients believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun, moon, and stars revolved around it once in twenty-four hours. It was Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, born nineteen years before Columbus discovered America, who first taught the world that the sun is fixed in the sky and that the planets, of which the earth is one, whirl around it in sublime revolutions through space. This is known as the Copernican System. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Procession of Planets This book is not intended as a textbook on astronomy as much as an attempt to correct some of the mistakes of astronomers. It shows the true motions of matter as they force themselves along the lines of least resistance. It shows the opposite force to gravity, which Newton overlooked, and which is expansion caused by heat. It shows that there are but these two forces, or causes of force, (gravity and heat) in nature and that they are self operating. It teaches that there is always a procession of expanded matter or gas, going up from the sun and a returning procession of planets, moons, comets and other solid matter, falling back to the sun, which keeps it supplied with fuel and energy. It furnishes the mathematical proof of such a procession in our solar system, by pointing out the facts concerning their relative distances from the sun, and their speed along their orbits, all of which astronomers have measured and proven.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Earth's Beginning The nebular theory discloses the beginning of this earth itself. It points out the marvellous process by which from original chaos the firm globe on. Which we stand was gradually evolved. It shows how the founda tions of this solid earth have been laid, and how/it is that we have land to tread on and air to breathe. But the subject has a scope far wider than merely in its rela tion to our earth. The nebular theory accounts for the beginning of that great and glorious orb the sun, which presides over the system of revolving planets, guides them In their paths, illuminates them with its light, and stimulates the activities of their inhabitants with its genial warmth. The nebular theory explains how it comes about that the sun still continues in these latter days to Shine with the brilliance and warmth that it had throughout the past ages of human history and the vastly greater periods of geological time. Then, as another supreme achievement, it discloses the origin of the planets which accompany the sun, and shows how they have come to run their mighty courses; and it tells us how revolving Satellites have been asso ciated with the planets. The nebular theory has, indeed, a remarkable relation to all objects belonging to that wonderful scheme which we call the solar system.
