From time's earliest records, celestial bodies have captivated us. This book is a source for knowledge and information about the planets and the moon for the avid astronomer and casual observer. It provides historical context for the discovery of celestial bodies, calculations for longitude, latitude, time, and parallax, formulas to compute the angle of the vertical, a table of mean obliquity of the ecliptic for every year from 1800 to 1900, and presents insights into atmospheric refraction. For the telescope enthusiast, this book is equally illuminating, providing corrections for lunar nutation and solar nutation, data for determining the moon's parallax in altitude, and a table of angular distance between moon, sun, and stars. Exploring astronomical phenomena from the ancient to the present day, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone passionate about the mysteries of the solar system and beyond.
