Book Synopsis Observations and Predictions of Eclipse Times by Early Astronomers by : J.M. Steele
Download or read book Observations and Predictions of Eclipse Times by Early Astronomers written by J.M. Steele and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eclipses have long been seen as important celestial phenomena, whether as omens affecting the future of kingdoms, or as useful astronomical events to help in deriving essential parameters for theories of the motion of the moon and sun. This is the first book to collect together all presently known records of timed eclipse observations and predictions from antiquity to the time of the invention of the telescope. In addition to cataloguing and assessing the accuracy of the various records, which come from regions as diverse as Ancient Mesopotamia, China, and Europe, the sources in which they are found are described in detail. Related questions such as what type of clocks were used to time the observations, how the eclipse predictions were made, and how these prediction schemes were derived from the available observations are also considered. The results of this investigation have important consequences for how we understand the relationship between observation and theory in early science and the role of astronomy in early cultures, and will be of interest to historians of science, astronomers, and ancient and medieval historians.

Download or read book Sun Moon Earth written by Tyler Nordgren and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With beautiful illustrations and a detailed map, Sun Moon Earth has everything you need to get ready for the next solar eclipse. On April 8, 2024, millions of Americans will experience an awe-inspiring phenomenon: a total eclipse of the sun. In Sun Moon Earth, astronomer Tyler Nordgren illustrates how this most seemingly unnatural of natural phenomena was transformed from a fearsome omen to a tourist attraction. From the astrologers of ancient China and Babylon to the high priests of the Maya, Sun Moon Earth takes us around the world to show how different cultures interpreted these dramatic events. Greek philosophers discovered eclipses' cause and used them to measure their world and the cosmos beyond. Victorian-era scientists mounted eclipse expeditions during the age of globe-spanning empires. And modern-day physicists continue to use eclipses to confirm Einstein's theory of relativity. Beautifully illustrated and lyrically written, Sun Moon Earth is the ideal guide for all eclipse watchers and star gazers alike.
Book Synopsis Understanding End Times Prophecy by : Paul Benware
Download or read book Understanding End Times Prophecy written by Paul Benware and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.

Book Synopsis Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation by : F. Richard Stephenson
Download or read book Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation written by F. Richard Stephenson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-05 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for geophysicists, astronomers (especially those with an interest in history), historians and orientalists. The culmination of many years of research, it discusses, in depth, ancient and medieval eclipse observations and their importance in studying Earth's past rotation. This was the first major book on this subject to appear in the last twenty years. The author has specialised in the interpretation of early astronomical records and their application to problems in modern astronomy for many years. The book contains an in-depth discussion of numerous eclipse records from Babylon, China, Europe and the Arab lands. Translations of almost every record studied are given. It is shown that although tides play a dominant long-term role in producing variations in Earth's rate of rotation - causing a gradual increase in the length of the day - there are significant, and variable non-tidal changes in opposition to the main trend.

Download or read book Eclipse Witness written by Sand Sheff and published by . This book was released on 2023-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since civilization began, humans have regarded the rare appearance of a solar eclipse as an omen or message. In the last few centuries, astronomers have assured us that, since its mechanics are both measurable and predictable, that such eclipses have no supernatural characteristics. Author and entertainer Sand Sheff challenges that assertion with Eclipse Witness: Evidence of Supernatural Patterns in the Solar Eclipse Phenomenon takes on centuries of scientific orthodoxy with a chronicle of historical eclipses and solar eclipse cycles that point to artistic and narrative elements in solar eclipses. For instance, here's a few examples: There were eclipses across Europe two days after Titanic sank in 1912 and in August 1914 in the opening days of WWI . There was an eclipse that went from the USA to the USSR in 1945 one week before the Atom bomb was first tested in New Mexico. There was an eclipse in 1834 that followed the path of the Trail of Tears while the Cherokees were on it. The USA sees 3 eclipses in 7 years between 2017 and 2024 which, when mapped, create an unusual hieroglyph across the nation. It is part of a cycle which also creates a related solar eclipse hieroglyph across the Middle East in 2027 and 2034. There are dozens of even more startling examples of peculiar individual eclipses, groups of eclipses and astonishingly precise eclipse cycles that all point to divine authorship of the eclipse phenomenon. In a fast-moving and highly visual book, Sheff outlines his controversial argument and provides lots of interesting context for the upcoming US eclipses, including the October 14 2023 solar eclipse across the Four Corners region. Sheff is the author of the acclaimed children's book, Eclipse Miracle: The Sun is the Same Size as the Moon in the Sky.
