Astronomy: Encyclopedia - Astronomy

Astronomy (Greek: αστρονομία = άστρον + νόμος, astronomia = astron + nomos, literally, "law of the stars") is the science of celestial objects and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere, such as stars, planets, comets, galaxies, and the cosmic background radiation. It is concerned with the formation and development of the universe, the evolution and physical and chemical properties of celestial objects and the calculation of their motions. Astronomical observations are ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Astronomy - History of astronomy
In early times, astronomy only comprised the observation and predictions of the motions of the naked-eye objects. Aristotle said that the Earth was the center of the Universe and everything rotated around it in orbits that were perfect circles. Aristotle had to be right because people thought that Earth had to be in the center with everything rotating around it because the wind would not scatter leaves, and birds would only fly in one direction. For a long time, people thought that A ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - History of astronomy - Modern astronomy

At the end of the 19th century it was discovered that, when decomposing the light from the sun, a multitude of spectral lines were observed (regions where there was less or no light). Experiments with hot gases showed that the same lines could be observed in the spectra of gases, specific lines corresponding to unique elements. It was proved that the chemical elements found in the sun (chiefly hydrogen and helium) were also found on Earth. During the 20th century spectrometry (the study of these lines) advanced, especially because of the advent of quantum ph ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia - UV astronomy

UV astronomy is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics which deals with objects visible in ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation ranges approximatively from 10nm (extreme UV) to 380nm (near UV). Ultraviolet line spectrum measurements are used to discern the chemical composition, densities, and temperatures of interstellar medium, and the temperature and composition of hot young stars. UV observations can also provide ess ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Rotation - Astronomy

In astronomy, rotation is a commonly observed phenomenon. Stars, planets and similar bodies all rotate around their axes, while planets also rotate about a star such as the Sun, and moons also rotate about a planet. The motion of the components of galaxies is complex, but it usually includes a rotation component. One consequence of the rotation of a planet is the phenomenon of precession. Precession has the overall effect of introducing a long-term "wobble" in the movement of the axis of a planet. For example, the tilt of the Earth's ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Syzygy - Astronomy

In astronomy, a syzygy (Greek: "yoked together") is a situation where three celestial bodies are positioned along a straight line. The word is usually used in context with the Sun, Earth, and the Moon or a planet, where the latter is in conjunction or opposition. Solar and lunar eclipses are examples of syzygies, as are transits and occultations. The term is also applied to each instance of new moon or full moon when Sun and Moon are in conjunction or opposition even though they are not ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Anton Pannekoek - Astronomy

In his scientific work, Pannekoek started studying the distribution of stars through the Milky Way, as well as the structure of our galaxy. Later he became interested in the nature and evolution of stars. Because of these studies, he is considered to be the founder of astrophysics as a separate discipline in the Netherlands. Apart from his theoretical work, he also went on several foreign expeditions to observe solar eclipses and take spectra of stars. In 1926 he undertook an expedition to Java in order to chart the Southern Constella ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Autumnal equinox - Astronomy

The Celestial Equator and the Ecliptic are two Great Circles. As such, they intersect at two points, the Equinoxes. When the Sun, which moves along the Ecliptic, occupies the point that crosses the Equator while heading South, it is the time of the Autumnal Equinox. Due to the Precession of the Equinoxes, the point of intersection moves completely around the sky in a 25,800-year cycle. This century it is in the western end of Virgo near the star Z ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Zodiac - Astronomy

In astronomy, the zodiac is the region of the sky close to the circle on which the orbital plane of our solar system intersects the celestial sphere. It includes the apparent path of the sun across the sky, known as the ecliptic, and the apparent paths of the naked eye planets which move in a zone just above and below this. It is a useful region of the sky to define, because it has practical implications for observations from the earth's surface. A bright object lying outside of the zodiacal region cannot be a planet. Polar observatories cannot easily observe the planets, because the ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Wilhelm Beer - Astronomy

Beer's fame derives from his hobby, astronomy. He built a private observatory with a 9.5 cm refractor in Tiergarten, Berlin. Together with Johann Heinrich Mädler he produced the first exact map of the Moon (entitled Mappa Selenographica) in 1834-1836, and in 1837 published a description of the Moon (Der Mond nach seinen kosmischen und individuellen Verhältnissen). Both remained the best descriptions of the Moon for many decades. In 1830, Beer and Mädler created the first globe of the planet Mars. In 1839 they made a map of Mars and calculated its rotation period to be 24 h 37 min 22.7 s, only 0.1 seconds different fr ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Anagram - Astronomy

Perhaps the only practical use to which anagrams have been turned is to be found in the transpositions in which some of the astronomers of the 17th century embodied their discoveries with the design apparently of avoiding the risk that, while they were engaged in further verification, the credit of what they had found out might be claimed by others. Thus Galileo announced his discovery that Venus had phases like the Moon in the form "Haec immatura a me iam frustra leguntur—oy" (Latin: This immature (feminine) one has already been read i ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Cycle studies - Astronomy

Although weather changes from one summer to the next and from one winter to the next, the astronomical cycles that cause seasonal changes may to a fairly good approximation undergo identical repetitions. But astronomers also concern themselves with cycles like the 11-year sunspot cycle, in which the length of one cycle may differ from the next by an amount that cannot be neglected even over a short run of just a few cycles. Our understanding of weather cycles being attributable to annual and monthly astronomical motions was extended b ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia II - Astronomy - Divisions

In ancient Greece and other early civilizations, astronomy consisted largely of astrometry, measuring positions of stars and planets in the sky. Later, with the work of astronomers Kepler and Newton, whose work led to the development of celestial mechanics, the mathematical prediction of the motions of celestial bodies interacting gravitationally became the focus of astronomy. This was applied to solar system objects in particular. Motions and positions of objects are now more easily determined, and modern astronomy is more concerned with observing and understanding the actua ...

Astronomy: Encyclopedia - Altitude astronomy

In astronomy and surveying, altitude (sometimes called elevation) is one of the two coordinates of the horizontal coordinate system, and refers to the vertical angle from the horizon. The other coordinate is azimuth, which refers to the horizontal angle from the north. The altitude, α, of a star is given by: where δ is the declination of the object, HA is its hour angle, and

Astronomy: Encyclopedia - Amateur astronomy

Amateur astronomy, often called back yard astronomy, is a hobby whose participants enjoy observing celestial objects. It is usually associated with viewing the night sky when most celestial objects and events are visible, but sometimes amateur astronomers also operate during the day for events such as sunspots and solar eclipses. Amateur astronomers often look at the sky using nothing more than their eyes, but common tools for amateur astronomy include portable telescopes and binoculars. Amateur astronomy - ...
