Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brinkley's Astronomy I have also endeavoured to substitute new and simpler mathematical demonstrations in many cases where my experience led me to think that the old ones were too cumbrous, and have added a series of questions on the first thirteen chapters which I hope will be found useful to the Students prepar ing for examinations. On the whole, it has been my anxious wish to remodel the work of Bishop Brinkley so as to make it correspond with the present extended knowledge of this science, and at the same time to furnish in it such a text-book as my experience as a teacher shows to be required.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Astronomy Astronomy is the most ancient of the physical sciences, be ing distinguished among them by its slow and progressive development from the earliest ages until the present time. In no other science has each generation which advanced it 'been so much indebted to its predecessors for both the facts and the ideas necessary to make the advance. The conception of a globular and moving earth pursuing her course through the celestial spaces among her sister planets, which we see as stars, is one to the entire evolution of which no one mind and no one age can lay claim. It was the result of a gradual process of education, of which the subject was not an indi vidual, but the human race. The great astronomers of all ages have built upon foundations laid by their predecessors; and when we attempt to search out the first founder, we find ourselves lost in the mists of antiquity. The theory of uni versal gravitation was founded by Newton upon the laws of Kepler, the observations and measurements of his French con temporaries, and the geometry of Apollonius. Kepler used as his material the observations of Tycho Brahe, and built upon the theory of Copernicus. When we seek the origin of the instruments used by Tycho, we soon find ourselves among2 system OF the world historically developed.

Download or read book Freeburg s Manual of Astronomy Classic Reprint written by Alfred Freeburg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freeburg's Manual of Astronomy The heaven is a great dome. It contains many great objects, and their great distance from us and how they can exist without a foundation or some thingto hold them up is mysterious to most any man's mind. But nature has brought them there to stay for innumerable ages. These bodies are held in check by an magnetic current from our sun. This magnetic current is caused by the heat from the sun and cooled by space, and works nearly on the same principle as load stone. The object of writing this book is to give the people of the world a full under standing, as far as I am able to explain, what I have observed in the star heaven and studied nature for thirty-five years. My aim is to give'to the world the truth as far as I understand it. I have treated in this book on all the objects in space that can be seen with a naked eye. In my next publication treat ing on the heavenly bodies I will give very nearly the exact distance to the sun and the moon. I think the distance given to the sun is too great or the moon is too near to the earth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A New Astronomy Classic Reprint written by David P. Todd and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Astronomy Astronomy is preeminently a science of observation. And there is no sufficient reason why it should not be so studied. Thereby will be fostered a habit of intellectual alertness which lets nothing slip. Six teen years' experience in teaching the subject has taught me many lessons that I have endeavored to embody here. Earth, air, and water (merely material things) are always with us. We touch them, handle them, ascertain their properties, and experiment upon their relations. Plainly, in their study, laboratory courses are possible. So, too, is a laboratory course in astronomy, without actually journeying to the heavenly bodies; for light comes from them in decipherable messages. And geometric truth provides the interpretation. But the student should learn to connect fundamental principles of astronomy with tangible objects of the common sort, somewhat as in physics and chemistry; and I have aimed to indicate practically how teachers and pupils of moderate mechanical deftness can themselves make the appa ratus requisite for illustrating many of these principles. All of it has been repeatedly constructed; and its use should pave the way to better equipment for more advanced study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Folks' AstronomyThe commendation which the astronomical articles in the Young Folks' Cyclopaedia of Com mon Things have received from parents and teachers has led to the preparation of this little volume, in the hope that it will fill a want long felt in homes and schools. There can be little question of the propriety of early grounding a child in an elementary knowledge of the astro nomical features of the earth on which he lives and of the universe of which it forms a part; yet it is almost impossible to find a text-book in which either the language or the ideas are within an ordinary child's comprehension, most of the books miscalled astronomy primers being fit ted only for those who already possess some knowledge of the science and of its correlated subjects. In the present work the topic is treated in the most elementary way, the child being first taught that the earth is a heavenly body which moves in the heavens in the same way as the moon, and which would look from the moon at night much as the moon looks to us.

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.
