Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the field of astronomy through a historical lens, beginning with foundational principles and progressing to more complex astronomical concepts. The book categorizes astronomy into two primary branches: plane or pure astronomy, which explores the measurement and calculation of celestial bodies and their movement, and physical astronomy, which applies the laws of motion to celestial bodies. The author covers a wide range of topics in-depth, including the definition and history of astronomy, the principles of spherical astronomy, the celestial sphere and coordinate systems, the use of time and parallax, and the dynamics of planets, moons, and comets. The book also delves into the history of astronomical discoveries, from the work of early astronomers to the development of the telescope and the subsequent discoveries of the solar system and beyond. The author's approach is both comprehensive and engaging, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of astronomy and its fundamental principles.
