Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book intricately details the cosmos as understood by astronomers of the 19th century. The author surveys the history of astronomy, beginning with basic definitions and astronomy's long history as a science. The book then goes through the known planets of that time, discussing their properties and motions, as well as the unique properties of comets and the differences between fixed stars and planets. Drawing from both descriptive and physical astronomy, the author provides readers with an accessible guide to major astronomical discoveries from the era, a history of ideas surrounding the universe, and a collection of physical data on celestial bodies up to that point in time. An ideal resource for historians of science, this book is also a valuable text for anyone curious about the history of astronomy.
