Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively details a longitude determination project using galvanic signals between the observatories of Brussels and Greenwich. The project involved collaboration between astronomers in both locations, with signals sent via telegraph wires, marking a significant advancement in the use of technology for astronomical observations. The author provides extensive data from the observations, including instrumental errors, clock corrections, and signal observation times, allowing readers to delve into the intricacies of the methodology. The project's primary goal was to establish the difference in longitude between the two observatories accurately, which was achieved through multiple nights of signal exchange and careful analysis of the data. Beyond its historical significance, the book offers valuable insights into the challenges and techniques of longitude determination in the mid-19th century. It showcases the meticulous nature of astronomical observations and the importance of international collaboration in scientific endeavors. The detailed account of the project provides a valuable resource for astronomers, historians of science, and anyone interested in the evolution of astronomical techniques.
