Página 284 - Observer' at a salary of 100£ per annum, his duty being 'forthwith to apply himself with the most exact care and diligence to the rectifying the tables of the motions of the heavens and the places of the fixed stars, so as to find out the so much desired longitude of places for the perfecting the art of navigation.
Página 233 - ... and therefore there is a greater probability of seeing a lunar than a solar eclipse. Since the moon is as long above the horizon as below, every spectator may expect to see half the number of lunar eclipses which happen.
Página 267 - ... in diameter. The star is perfectly in the centre, and the atmosphere is so diluted, faint, and equal throughout, that there can be no surmise of its consisting of stars ; nor can there be a doubt of the evident connection between the atmosphere and the star. Another star not much less in brightness, and in the same field with the above, was perfectly free from any such appearance.

Página 150 - ... it had a degree of brightness about as strong as that with which such a coal would be seen to glow in faint daylight.
Página 261 - ... sixteenth century Kepler discovered a new star near the heel of the right foot of Serpentarius, ' so bright and sparkling that it exceeded any thing he had ever seen before.
Página 208 - An eclipse is a partial, or total privation of the light of the sun or moon. An eclipse of the sun is caused by the interposition of the moon between the earth and the sun, and consequently must happen when the inoon is in conjunction with the sun, or at the new moon.

Página 218 - ... red color. An eclipse of the moon arising from a real deprivation of light, must appear to begin at the same instant of time to every place on that hemisphere of the Earth, which is next the moon. Hence, it affords a ready method of finding the longitudes of places upon the Earth's surface.
