Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a significant treatise on celestial topics that could serve as a comprehensive guide for astronomy enthusiasts and those who navigate by the stars. The author's approach is grounded in gnomonic projection, a reliable method that maps the celestial sphere onto a plane surface. The text explores the connections between map projections and the sphere they represent, covering concepts associated with celestial navigation and the principles of gnomonic mapping. The book explores the various ways of constructing celestial maps, discussing the distortions that arise when representing a sphere on a plane. These distortions are explained in detail, along with the mathematical principles used to minimize them. The text also elucidates key celestial features and how they are represented on maps, such as the celestial poles, the equator, and the ecliptic. More importantly, the author emphasizes how these maps can facilitate a deeper understanding of the night sky. By studying the maps and understanding the principles of gnomonic projection, readers can develop a comprehensive grasp of celestial bodies, their movements, and their spatial relationships. The book effectively positions gnomonic projection within the broader context of astronomy, making it a valuable resource for both amateur astronomers and individuals seeking a practical guide to celestial navigation. 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 9781330311455_0
