Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eclipses of the Moon in India The' name given to the month in question by the Hindus necessarily varies with their diversity of practice (prior to about 1100 ad.) in the interpolation of a month in intercalary years, some using the true and some the mean system; and this difference of name is shewn by a double entry in C01. 2. In such case the earlier entry refers throughout to the true system, the later to the mean system, and to this is prefixed the letters w. M. I. I.e. With mean intercalations. When the month in which the eclipse occurs bears the' name -of an intercalated month, so that there are in that year two months having the same name, I have distinguished them by numbers, at the suggestion of Professor Kielhorn. Such a system is safer than entering a name; in view of the difference in the nomenclature adopted at different times and in different tracts. For the magnitude of the eclipse (col. 8)i adopt the Canon figures, with the sole exception that I have not thought it necessary to record magnitudes higher than total. For these last, the letter t suffices. A note on the page of Table E. Containing the entry for ad. 1582 explains fully the Old and New Style of ad. Reckoning, and shews why, between AD 1582 and 1752.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Eclipses Inasmuch as the Earth and the Moon are for our present purpose pratically solid bodies, each must cast a shadow into space as the result of being illuminated by the Sun, regarded as a source of light. What we shall eventually have to consider is: What results arise from the existence of these Shadows according to the Circum stances under which they are viewed P But before reach ing this point, some other preliminary considerations must be dealt with. The various bodies which together make up the solar system, that is to say, in particular, those bodies called the planets - some of them primary, others second ary (alias Satellites or Moons - are constantly in motion. Consequently, if we imagine a line to be drawn between any two at any given time, such a line will point in a different direction at another time, and so it may occasionally happen that three of these ever-moving bodies will come into one and the same straight line. Now the consequences of this state Of things were admir ably well pointed out nearly half a century ago by a popu lar writer, who in his day greatly aided the development of science amongst the masses. When one of the ex tremes of the series of three bodies which thus assume a common direction is the Sun, the intermediate body de prives the other extreme body, either wholly or partially.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eclipses, Past and Future: With General Hints for Observing the Heavens It Iias been ascertained, that if the latitude of the moon be less than 1 23' at the time of new moon, there will be an eclipse of the sun; and, if less than 51' 57 at the time of full moon, there will be an eclipse of the moon. There cannot be less than two eclipses in any year, or more than seven; and we are unable to mention any year in which this maximum number was attained. We suppose the reader to be acquainted, more or less, with the theory of eclipses. It is not our design to enter here into a description of the periodical equations and secular equations of the moon's motions, simply to give a brief description of eclipses on record in ancient and medieeval times, as such may prove of use to some for purposes of reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Total Eclipses of the Sun, Vol. 1 The great eclipse of 1842 marked the dawn of a golden age of physical research upon the Sun, and the conclusion of a half-century of significant research forms a fitting epoch for summarizing salient results in review. Advantage has been taken of this opportunity to present the attractive features of remote eclipses; and the connection of those in early, mediaeval, and later centuries with contemporary history will, it is hoped, add new interest to astronomical events already widely celebrated. The abundant references have been critically verified in the libraries of Amherst College, of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston, of Harvard College Observatory, and in the Newberry Library, Chicago. Necessarily the ample illustrations have been chosen from a wide field. Particular attention is called to the collection of coronas of the different eclipses. Especial care has been bestowed upon the chart of eclipse tracks in the future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Total Eclipse of the Sun, August 17-18, 1868, Vol. 37: As Observed at Guntoor, Under Instructions From the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for India For this purpose I called on Captain davis, Agent Of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, to enlist his services; and at his house was for tunate enough to meet an old companion, Major napier, Of the Royal Artillery. Both these gentlemen promised their aid; and I learnt from them that Colonel addison and Major weir, of h.m.'s 2nd Queen's Royal Regiment, would be likely to be valuable coadjutors. It being then too late to look them up, I asked Major napier to broach the subject, and promised to write as soon as I could. This I did, and it will save time if I say at once what my recommendations were. Ist. I recommended that they Should endeavour to make drawings Of the corona and appendages as accurately as possible, and urged that, if two Observers were available, two sketches, made independently Of the same part (say a quadrant) would be more valuable than single sketches of large portions which could not confirm and interpret each other. 2nd. I undertook to send, if wanted, a polariscope, and I did accordingly send one on savart's principle, with instructions which I thought would be sufficient for its use. 3rd. I suggested that Colonel addison should address Mr. Huggins as to getting a spectroscope for hand use, which he did with a favourable result. I hope, therefore, that there will be some results from Colonel addison's Observations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
