Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides detailed accounts of the efforts of notable astronomers, such as Horace Walpole, Nevil Maskelyne, Charles Mason, Jeremiah Horrox, Edmond Halley, and James Cook, to determine the distance from Earth to the Sun. The Sun's parallax, which is necessary to calculate the distance, was thought to be attainable through observing the apparent motion of Venus as it passed in front of the Sun in 1761. The efforts to observe the transit from locations around the world are recorded in detail, including those led by Joseph Brown in Providence, Rhode Island. The book describes how these early astronomers prepared for and observed the transit, as well as how they used their observations to calculate the Sun's parallax and, consequently, the distance to the Sun. This book offers a valuable record of the history of astronomy and the scientific process. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282006006_0
