Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Astronomy: The First Containing a Clear and Compendious View of the Theory; The Second, a Number of Practical Problems; To Which Are Added, Solar, Lunar, and Other Astronomical Tables The Appendix, in addition to the other matter, contains Professor Bessel's late investigation of formulae for com puting Solar Eclipses, Occultations and Transits, reduced to a more elementary form. In the Second Part, the for mulse are applied in the computation of these phenomena. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In this simple guide, David Levy inspires readers to experience the wonder of eclipses and other transient astronomical events for themselves. Covering both solar and lunar eclipses, he gives step-by-step instructions on how to observe and photograph eclipses. As well as explaining the science behind eclipses, the book also gives their historical background, discussing how they were observed in the past and what we have learned from them. This personal account contains examples from the 77 eclipses the author has witnessed himself. The guide also includes chapters on occultations of stars and planets by the Moon and of asteroids by stars, and the transits of Mercury and Venus. Tables of future eclipses make this invaluable for anyone, from beginners to practised observers, wanting to learn more about these fascinating events.
