Excerpt from Astronomy Explained Upon Sir Isaac Newton's Principles, and Made Easy to Those Who Have Not Studied Mathematics: To Which Are Added, a Plain Method of Finding the Distances of All the Planets From the Sun, by the Transit of Venus Over the Sun's Disc, in the Year 1761: An Account of Mr. Horrox's Observation of the Transit of Venus, in the Year 1639
Aberration of a star, is a small apparent motion, occasioned by a sensible proportion between the velocity of light and that of the earth in its annual orbit. From this cause, every star will, in the course of a year, appear to describe a small ellipsis in the heavens, whose greater axis 40 and its lesser axis, perpendicular to 'the ecliptic, 40 x cos. Of star's lat. (to radius In astronomical calcu lations, where great accuracy is required, and the place of a star concerned, a correction on account of aberration, as well as on other accounts, ought to be applied to the star's place as found in the tables. This correction may readily be found by the following theorems; in which A the star's right ascension, D its declination, and S the Sun's longitude.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a clear and accessible explanation of astronomy based on the principles of Sir Isaac Newton. The author makes complex astronomical concepts understandable for readers without a background in mathematics. The book delves into the mechanics of the solar system, including the orbits of planets and the influence of gravity. A key focus is the transit of Venus, a phenomenon observed in 1761 and 1639 that provided valuable data for determining the distances between planets and the sun. The book also discusses the historical observations of Mr. Horrox, placing the study of Venus in its broader historical context. The author provides a framework for comprehending the universe, exploring the interplay of celestial bodies and the forces that govern their movements, making it a valuable resource for understanding the science of the heavens. 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282645984_0
