Synopsis

Observations of the Transit of Venus, December 5 and 6, 1882: Made at the Harvard College Observatory (1883) is a scientific book written by Edward Charles Pickering. The book documents the observations made by Pickering and his team during the transit of Venus on December 5 and 6, 1882. The transit of Venus is a rare astronomical event that occurs when the planet Venus passes between the Earth and the Sun. The book provides a detailed account of the observations made during this event, including the use of specialized instruments and techniques to measure the size and distance of Venus. The observations were made at the Harvard College Observatory, which was one of the leading astronomical observatories of the time. The book includes detailed illustrations and diagrams of the instruments used, as well as tables of data and calculations. It is a valuable resource for astronomers and scientists interested in the history of astronomy and the study of Venus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
