These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Asteroids - Or Minor Planets Between Mars and Jupiter.: Look inside the book: The fact that Juno was discovered not far from the point at which the orbit of Pallas approaches very near that of Ceres, was considered a strong confirmation of the hypothesis that the asteroids were the explosion of a large planet; for in case this hypothesis be founded in truth, it is evident that whatever may have been the forms of the various orbits assumed by the fragments, they must all return to the point of separation. ...The twelfth asteroid, discovered in London, was named Victoria, in honor of the reigning sovereign; the twentieth and twenty-fifth, detected at Marseilles, received names indicative of the place of their discovery; Lutetia, the first found at Paris, received its name for a similar purpose; the fifty-fourth was named Alexandra, for Alexander von Humboldt; the sixty-seventh, found by Pogson at Madras, was named Asia, to commemorate the fact that it was the first discovered on that continent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Asteroids, or Minor Planets Between Mars and Jupiter The rapid progress of discovery in the zone of minor planets, the anomalous forms and positions of their orbits, the small size as well as the great number of these telescopic bodies, and their peculiar relations to Jupiter, the massive planet next exterior, - all entitle this part of the system to more particular consideration than it has hitherto received. The following essay is designed, therefore, to supply an obvious want. Its results are given in some detail up to the date of publication. Part I. presents in a popular form the leading historical facts as to the discovery of Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta, and Astræa; a tabular statement of the dates and places of discovery for the entire group; a list of the names of discoverers, with the number of minor planets detected by each; and a table of the principal elements so far as computed.

Book excerpt: " ... Some papers and discussions included in this book even though they were not presented at the meeting. In some respects, therefore, the book is independent of the colloquium. Several papers had been invited long beforehand with the request to publish them as review papers. The lack of a modern textbook on minor planets is keenly felt, and the proceedings of this meeting, with these additions, should provide a good reference book."--Page viii

Download or read book Asteroids written by Curtis Peebles and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asteroids suggest images of a catastrophic impact with Earth, triggering infernos, tidal waves, famine, and death -- but these scenarios have obscured the larger story of how asteroids have been discovered and studied. During the past two centuries, the quest for knowledge about asteroids has involved eminent scientists and amateur astronomers, patient research and sudden intuition, advanced technology and the simplest of telescopes, newspaper headlines and Cold War secrets. Today, researchers have named and identified the mineral composition of these objects. They range in size from 33 feet to 580 miles wide and most are found in a belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Covering all aspects of asteroid investigation, Curtis Peebles shows how ideas about the orbiting boulders have evolved. He describes how such phenomena as the Moon's craters and dinosaur extinction were gradually, and by some scientists grudgingly, accepted as the results of asteroid impacts. He tells how a band of icy asteroids rimming the solar system, first proposed as a theory in the 1940s, was ignored for more than forty years until renewed interest and technological breakthroughs confirmed the existence of the Kuiper Belt. Peebles also chronicles the discovery of Shoemaker-Levy 9, a comet with twenty-two nuclei that crashed into Jupiter in 1994, releasing many times the energy of the world's nuclear arsenal. Showing how asteroid research is increasingly collaborative, the book provides insights into the evolution of scientific ideas and the ebb and flow of scientific debate.

This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Method of Determining the General Perturbations of the Minor Planets Sto'rangen der kleinen Planeten, undoubtedly marks a great advance in the determina tion of the general perturbations Of the heavenly bodies. The value Of the work is greatly enhanced by an application of the method to a numerical example in which are given the perturbations of Egeria produced by the action of Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn. And yet, notwithstanding the many exceptional features Of the work commending it to attention, astronomers seem to have been de terred by the refined analysis and laborious computations from anything like a general use of the method; and they still adhere to the method of special perturbations devel oped by lagrange. Hansen himself seems to have felt the force Of the objections to his method, since in a posthumous memoir published in 1875, entitled Ueber die Sto'rangen der grossen Planeten, insbesondere des Jupiters, his former positive views relative to the convergence of series, and the proper angles to be used in the argu ments, are greatly modified.
