Sidereal Chromatics: Being a Re-Print, With Additions, From the Bedford Cycle of Celestial Objects, and Its Hartwell Continuation, on the Colours of Multiple Stars (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book examines the colors of stars and their variations, a field with discoveries as fascinating as they are perplexing. The author underscores the remarkable differences in reported star colors even among experienced observers. Yet, real changes in the light of some stars have been proved, and the author encourages skilled amateurs to pursue this fascinating field of study. The author suggests the colors of multiple stars may change due to their relative orientations in orbit but emphasizes the need for continued, rigorous observations to reach any definitive conclusions. These observations may ultimately contribute to our understanding of the composition and nature of the light emitted by stars, and perhaps even the composition of the interstellar medium.
