Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Harvard College Observatory: During the Period 1840-1890 The advance made in astronomical science during the 50 years past is among the wonderful facts comprised in the rec ord of the 19th century, and it is true that since it became fairly organized and equipped, Harvard College Observatory has been in the front rank in the march. A review of this progress so far as per taining to the institution at Cambridge, is, therefore, timely. A history of 50 years. Embodying so many facts of the first importance and interest as does this, cannot, even with the most resolute pur pose as respects brevity, be disposed of in a single chapter. This, accordingly, will be the first of a series. The reader may be assured at the outset that the topics to be touched upon are various and in themselves attractive, and that, so far as possible, technicalities will be shunned.

Download or read book The Harvard College Observatory written by Bessie Zaban Jones and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding in 1839, the Harvard College Observatory has pioneered in the development of modern astronomy. Its first directors early recognized the potential of spectroscopy in revealing the constitution of the stars, and of photography in determining the positions and motions of celestial objects; the library of photographic plates made under their direction provides an invaluable history of the stellar universe for the period. The Observatory also pioneered in using the talents of women, several of whom became noted astronomers, and their monumental classification of stars from spectral records constitutes a fundamental contribution to astronomical knowledge. The authors vividly portray the genesis, growth, and achievements of a major scientific institution and its relations with other observatories. Through the use of photographs and correspondence they also portray the men and women who played essential roles in the development of astronomy in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
