Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an abundant collection of articles published between 1882 and 1918 which record the astronomical discoveries and knowledge of the period. Articles range widely in subject, and include discussions on the formation of the solar corona; the aurora; orbital movement; variable stars; stellar distances, brightness, and energy distribution; reflection of light from planets; the moon's atmosphere; the variability of the solar system; eclipses; and much more. The author includes specially written introductions throughout the book to contextualize the main themes and ideas presented in each group of articles. Significant figures from the period of astronomical discovery are paid particular attention, including E. E. Barnard, S. W. Burnham, A. A. Michelson, and E. C. Pickering. Their work is considered not only in terms of its impact on the understanding of astronomy at the time but also in terms of its continuing relevance and historical significance. The editor's introductory notes and the articles themselves provide a fascinating insight into the golden age of astronomy, during which the discipline was in continuous flux and many of the basic techniques and theories, still relevant today, were developed. 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 9781334032448_0
