Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the constant of the moon's horizontal equatorial parallax, a fundamental astronomical measurement that has been refined over centuries. The author analyzes observations made at observatories in Greenwich, Edinburgh, the Cape of Good Hope, and Cambridge from 1830 to 1837. By comparing these observations with lunar parallax formulae developed by Adams and Damoiseau, the author derives a new constant value for lunar parallax. This constant, which is crucial for accurately calculating the moon's position in the sky, forms part of a long history of astronomical observations and calculations that have gradually improved our understanding of the solar system and the universe beyond. 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.
