You may commit an act of forgery: it will go unpunished by the law unless a criminal motive can be proved. So I may undertake astronomic researches; I may fail totally; but my efforts will have been justified if my motive was the right one.

Download or read book Old and New Astronomy Classic Reprint written by Richard Anthony Proctor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 876 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old and New Astronomy If such powers of vision, and also (for they would be even more needed) such powers of conception, were given to the astronomer, that the extent of the domain which the telescope has revealed to man could be adequately recognised, while be further became cognisant of the way in which the various portions of that domain are occupied, I conceive that, deeply as he would be impressed by the amazing scene, the sense of wonder he would experience would sink almost into nothingness by comparison with that which would overwhelm him could he recognise with equal clearness the movements taking place amongst the orbs presented to his contemplation - could he see moons and moon-systems circling around primary planets, these urging their way with inconceivable velocity around their central suns, while amid the star depths the suns were seen swiftly travelling on their several courses, star streams and star-clusters aggregating or segregating according to the various influences of the attractions to which they were subject, and the vast spaces occupied by the gaseous nebulm stirred to their inmost depths by the action of mighty forces whose real nature is as yet unknown to us. During millions, during hundreds, thousands, millions of millions of years in the past, such movements have been in progress, and they will continue during countless millions of years which are yet to come. Nay, it may well be that to speak of time, thus viewed, as measurable by years, even though we number them by millions, is as idle as it would be to speak of miles when dealing with the measurement of star-strewn space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Depths of Space: A Primer of Astronomy The object of this little book is to give in simple language a comprehensive idea of the Universe. It is intended to supply a felt want, and does not aspire to be an exhaustive text-book of the science of astronomy; neither does it aspire to deal with the mathematical and instrumental sides of the science. The use of technical phrases has been as far as possible avoided, so that the beginner may have no difficulty in thoroughly mastering the book and in proceeding to the more advanced works on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Astronomy Finally, the aim has been to give the student a well balanced conception of the astronomy of the present day. It is desired that it shall become an appreciable part of his mental picture of the general universe, which strongly colors all his Opinions even though he is not aware of the fact. When considered in relation to its influence upon the gen eral intellectual horizon, astronomy has claims which are second to those of no other science; and plain duty demands that in outlining courses of study these claims Shall not be ignored.

Download or read book History of Astronomy Classic Reprint written by George Forbes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Astronomy It would, indeed, be a pleasure to entertain the hope that these pages might, among new recruits, arouse an interest in the greatest of all the sciences, or that those who have handled the theoretical or practical side might be led by them to read in the original some of the classics of astronomy. Many students have much compassion for the schoolboy of to-day, who is not allowed the luxury of learning the art of reasoning from him who still remains pre-eminently its greatest exponent, Euclid. These students pity also the man of to-morrow, who is not to be allowed to read, in the original Latin of the brilliant Kepler, how he was able - by observations taken from a moving platform, the earth, of the directions of a moving object, Mars - to deduce the exact shape of the path of each of these planets, and their actual positions on these paths at any time. Kepler's masterpiece is one of the most interesting books that was ever written, combining wit, imagination, ingenuity, and certainty. Lastly, it must be noted that, as a History of England cannot deal with the present Parliament, so also the un finished researches and untested hypotheses of many well known astronomers of to-day cannot be included among the records of the History of Astronomy. The writer regrets the necessity that thus arises of leaving without mention the names of many who are now making history in astronomical work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Schnell Astronomy It also shows that our solar system is a well-organ ized family, obeying and being governed by the same law as the human race; that the planets follow our lives and come into existence the same as we do, by mating, and then have their offspring, which in turn reproduce their kind, the same as Man, Beast, or Bird; that every thing that exists, all organized bodies, obey one law, and that is to propagate their species, only that there are different stages of evolution of the lives that, exist.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Astronomy If proof were wanted of the inexhaustible fertility of astro nomical science in points of novelty and interest, it would suffice to adduce the addition to the list of members of our system of no less than eight new planets and satellites during the prepara tion of these sheets for the press. Among them is one whose discovery must ever be regarded as one of the noblest triumphs of theory. In the account here given of this discovery, I trust to have expressed myself with complete impartiality; and in the exposition of the perturbative action on Uranus, by which the existence and situation of the disturbing planet became revealed to us, I have endeavoured, in pursuance of the general plan of this work, rather to exhibit a rational view of the dynamical action, than to convey the slightest idea of the conduct of those masterpieces of analytical skill which the researches of Messrs. Leverrier and Adams exhibit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
