Publisher's Synopsis
Heliometer Observations for Determination of Stellar Parallax Made at the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope (1893) is a scientific book written by David Gill. The book contains a detailed account of the observations made using a heliometer, a device used for measuring the angles between two celestial objects, to determine the parallax of stars. The observations were made at the Royal Observatory in Cape of Good Hope during the year 1893. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the data obtained from the observations and discusses the methods used for determining the parallax of stars. It also includes detailed descriptions of the equipment used and the processes involved in making the observations. The book is a valuable resource for astronomers and researchers interested in the study of stellar parallax and celestial mechanics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
