Ancient Astronomical Observations and the Study of the Moons Motion (1691-1757)

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the revival of ancient astronomical observations sparked by Edmond Halley's discovery of the moon's secular acceleration in the late 17th century. It presents a comprehensive study of how astronomers like Richard Dunthorne, Tobias Mayer, and Jérôme Lalande utilized these historical observations to quantify the acceleration in the 18th century. Additionally, it examines the broader implications of this research, including its impact on biblical chronology, theories of the heavens, and the determination of geographical longitude, appealing to historians of astronomy and ancient studies.
