Determination of the Solar Parallax: From Photographs of Eros Made with the Crossley Reflector of the Lick Observatory, University of California (1910)

""Determination Of The Solar Parallax: From Photographs Of Eros Made With The Crossley Reflector Of The Lick Observatory, University Of California"" is a scientific book written by Charles Dillon Perrine and originally published in 1910. The book focuses on the measurement of the solar parallax, which is the angular distance between the Earth and the Sun as seen from an astronomical unit (AU) away. Perrine describes the use of photographs of the asteroid Eros, taken with the Crossley Reflector at the Lick Observatory, to determine the solar parallax. The book includes detailed explanations of the methods used to measure the parallax, as well as the calculations and results obtained. The book is written in a technical language and is intended for those with a background in astronomy and physics. It is a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in the study of the solar system and the measurement of astronomical distances.Also By Adelaide M.
