Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Practical Astronomy and Astronomical Instruments Elementary Treatise); and the process of taking observations with the Greenwich Reflex Zenith Tube. The treatment of these subjects has given to the work an extension much beyond what I at first contemplated, but at the same time its usefulness as an astronomical manual may be considered to be much increased by being thus made to exhibit with, a great degree of completeness the actual state of observational astronomy.

Download or read book A Treatise on Spherical Astronomy Classic Reprint written by Sir Robert Ball and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Spherical Astronomy Astronomy on the one hand and the multitudinous details of Practical Astronomy on the other. I have aimed at providing for the student a book on Spherical Astronomy which is generally within the limits thus indicated, but I have not hesitated to transgress those limits now and then when there seemed to be good reason for doing so. For example I have just crossed the border of Dynamical Astronomy in Chapter VII., and in two concluding chapters I have so far entered on Practical Astronomy as to give some account of the fundamental geometrical principles of astronomical instruments. It has been assumed that the reader of this book is already acquainted with the main facts of Descriptive Astronomy. The reader is also expected to be familiar with the ordinary processes of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry and he should have at least an elementary knowledge of Analytic Geometry and Conic Sections as well as of the Differential and Integral Calculus. It need hardly be added that the student of any branch of Mathematical Astro nomy should also know the principles of Statics and Dynamics. As a guide to the student who is making his first acquaintance with Spherical Astronomy, I have affixed an asterisk to the titles of those articles which he may omit on a first reading; the articles so indicated being rather more advanced than the articles which precede or follow. Such articles as relate to the more important subjects are generally illustrated by exercises. In making a selection from the large amount of available material I have endeavoured to choose exercises which not only bear directly on the text, but also have some special astronomical or mathematical interest. It will be seen that the Tripos examinations at Cambridge and many. College examinations at Cambridge and elsewhere have provided a large proportion of the exercises. I have also obtained exercises from many other sources which are duly indicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Astronomy With an Opera Glass: A Popular Introduction to the Study of the Starry Heavens With the Simplest of Optical Instruments Being convinced that whoever will survey the heavens with a good opera-glass will feel repaid many fold for his time and labor, I have undertaken to point out some of the objects most worthy of attention, and some of the means of making acquaintance with the stars. First, a word about the instrument to be used. Galileo made his famous discoveries with what was, in principle of construction, Simply an opera-glass. This form of telescope was afterward abandoned because very high magnifying pow ers could not be employed with it, and the field of view was restricted. But, on account of its brilliant illumination of objects looked at, and its convenience of form, the opera-glass is still a valuable and, in some respects, unrivaled instrument of observation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Astronomy Without a Telescope: A Guide to the Constellations, and Introduction to the Study of the Heavens With the Unassisted Sight HE last quarter of a century has seen a striking increase in the size and efficiency of astronomical telescopes. These have opened. Up new fields of great interest; but in the widespread attention which they have attracted there is some danger lest it should be forgotten that there are fields for which the primary instrument of all, the unassisted human eye, is still available, and to which it alone is adapted, fields which even yet are far from being exhausted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brunnow's Spherical Astronomy The want of a Text-book for Spherical Astronomy has been long felt in the University of Cambridge, and indeed in all the Universities of the British Isles in which the Mathematical Sciences are cultivated. The treatise of Maddy, excellent as it was for the time when it was written, has long since ceased to be of much service for the instruction of students who are desirous of knowing the methods, both theoretical and practical, used by the astronomers of the present time; while that of Woodhouse, though it deals more practically with the operations pursued in fixed Oh servatories, is also comparatively useless, because it describes both instruments and methods which have long been 'oh solete. It has been, at least in part, a consequence of the want of a good treatise on practical astronomy, that this science has been far less cultivated in the University of Cambridge than it ought to have been, and that very few indeed of the students acquire any adequate acquaintance with the methods of the present time, as taught in the works of the great German and English astronomers.

Download or read book A Text Book of General Astronomy written by Charles A. Young and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of General Astronomy: For Colleges and Scientific Schools The present work is designed as a text-book of Astronomy suited to the general course in our colleges and Schools of science, and is meant to supply that amount of information upon the subject which may fairly be expected of every liberally educated person. W'hile it assumes the previous discipline and mental maturity usually corresponding to the latter years Of'lthe college course, it does not demand the peculiar mathematical training and aptitude necessary as the basis of a special course in the science - only the most ele mentary knowledge of Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry is required for its reading. Its aim is to give a clear, accu rate, and justly proportioned presentation of astronomical facts, principles, and methods in such a form that they can be easily apprehended by the average college student with a reasonable amount of effort. The limitations Of time are such in our college course that probably it will not be possible in most cases for a class to take thoroughly everything in the book. The fine print is to be regarded rather as collateral reading, important to any thing like a complete view of the subject, but not essential to the course. Some of the chapters can even be omitted in cases where it is found necessary to abridge the course as much as possible; e.g., the chapters on Instruments and on Perturbations.

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.
