Download or read book Philip s Planisphere Latitude 51 5 North written by and published by Philip's. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invaluable for both beginners and advanced observers, Philip's Planisphere (Latitude 51.5 North) is a practical hour-by-hour tracker of the stars and constellations, designed for use anywhere in Britain and Ireland, Northern Europe, Northern USA and Canada. Turn the oval panel to the required date and time to reveal the whole sky visible from your location.The map, by the well-known celestial cartographer Wil Tirion, shows stars down to magnitude 5, plus several deep-sky objects, such as the Pleiades, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the Orion Nebula (M42). Because the planets move round the Sun, their positions in the sky are constantly changing and they cannot be marked permanently on the map; however, the back of the planisphere has tables giving the positions of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn for every month until 2020.The planisphere is supplied in a full-colour wallet that contains illustrated step-by-step instructions for how to use the planisphere, how to locate planets, and how to work out the time of sunrise or sunset for any day of the year. It explains all the details that can be seen on the map - the magnitudes of stars, the ecliptic and the celestial coordinates. In addition, the section 'Exploring the skies, season by season' introduces the novice astronomer to the principal celestial objects visible at different times of the year. Major constellations are used as signposts to navigate the night sky, locating hard-to-find stars and some fascinating deep-sky objects. The movement of the stars is also explained.

In our diagram we show the 14 principal stars, as seen with an opera glass; aiso, the names of the entire family. Aicyone is 1 (eta) of Taurus. The position and the magnitudes of these stars are very difficult to be identified from the catalogues and maps published at different times, Fig. 90.-The 14 principal Pleiades. As our object is to describe the heavens as they are now, we have given the position, the names and the magnitude of the Pleiades for the year 1ss0; the amateurs who wish to go deeper with the study of this interesting group can refer to M. Flammarion's book,"Les Etoiles," pages 2s9 to 306. Messrs. Paul and Prosper Henry, after taking the photograph of the Pleladesihc I6th of December, 1ss5, discovered a bright nebula starting from Mala, going a little west, then turning abruptly toward the north and measuring about 3 minutes; they photographed the same region again on the 16th of November, the sth and 9th of December, 1ss5, and the sth of January, 1ss6, and the nebula was visible on the plates each time; still, in-looking through all the telescopes of the Paris Observatory they could not see it; it was identified later at Pulkova Observatory (Revue d'Ast., 1ss6; page 45). In 1s59, Mr. Tempel, of Marseilles, discovered at Venice, the 23d of October, 1s59, a nebula starting from Merope, which he thought was a comet; he saw it again at Marseilles several times in is60. Mr. Julius Schmidt, of Athens, never noticed it from 1s44 until the 5th of February, 1s61; the atmosphere that night was extraordinarily pure. Mr. Chacomac observed it at Paris the 16th of September, 1s62, and Mr. Webb in 1s63 and 1s65; it was then very faint and some experienced observers, such as Burnham, never saw it; in...
