Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. pp159-174. Removed from ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1913. VG. In plastic report covers. From the report: "Going from one extreme to another, the sun was believed to be independent of the relatively minute planets which it carries along with itself. It seemed that a fictitious observer, placed at its center or on its surface, would have no occasion to suspect the existence of other celestial bodies." Newton proved this not to be the case. "The sun, as well as the humblest planet, because of this bond, must undergo periodic variations in its speed as well as in its shape.".…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In the fifth installment of this lunar atlas, the author, an astronomer at the Paris Observatory, uses photographic plates taken in 1894, 1897, 1898, and 1899 to present a detailed study of the western portion of the Moon's surface, focusing on the topography and the composition of the lunar crust. One of the prominent details this book delves into is how the Moon's crust cooled at different rates, resulting in the formation of various geological formations like craters, faults, and rilles. The author's close examination of the lunar surface reveals a dynamic history of geological processes such as volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, and tectonic activity. This book contributes to our understanding of the Moon's geological evolution, and provides a valuable resource for astronomers, selenographers, and anyone interested in the exploration of our celestial neighbor.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of photographs of the Moon from the Grand Equatorial telescope. The pictures in this book were taken at the end of the 19th century and represent a crucial moment in the history of lunar studies. Through these images, the author attempted to discern the history of the Moon and the forces that shaped it. The volume includes detailed descriptions of the craters, plains, and mountains observed on the lunar surface, and explores the role of volcanic eruptions in their formation. The author argued that the Moon's appearance had been shaped over time by a cooling process, similar to that which had occurred on Earth, and that the surface might still contain ice deposits. These photographs marked an important step forward in understanding the Moon's composition and evolution, and they continue to offer us valuable insights into its geological history.
