Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a concise summary of the author's work in comparing observations of the Sun and planets with astronomical theory. The author sought to improve the precision and symmetry of astronomical work by deriving a definitive set of corrections to the elements and constants of astronomy. The book is particularly significant for its discussion of the masses of the planets, a topic on which there was much uncertainty and debate at the time. The author's work on the masses of Venus and Mercury was particularly groundbreaking, as it was based on the observed periodic perturbations produced by these planets. This book stands as a testament to the author's dedication to precision and accuracy in astronomical work. The corrections and results presented in this volume would go on to form the basis for more precise astronomical calculations and ephemerides for many years to come. 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. Seller Inventory # 9781330369654_0
