Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The large telescope at Meudon has become legendary. When it was conceived, after 1870, astronomy as a whole was limited to visual observation. Knowledge of the sky was limited to what one could see, assisted only by optical means. The large telescopes produced at this time produced larger images, permitting close-up views: the Meudon telescope was able to accomplish this perfectly. At Meudon, which became the Mecca of visual observation, the major planets were examined in a way that no other telescope had previously been able to. The telescope monitored the state of their atmospheres and mapped the appearance of their surfaces. Through the telescope, one could obtain photographs showing the nuclei of comets, revealing their very small size, and by using an eyepiece one could measure the separation of double stars. With a marvellous little instrument, the polarimeter, the nature of clouds in planetary atmospheres has been determined, and the type of surface material identified. Many more results were obtained, while photography, universally adopted, revolutionized other knowledge about the world. The sensitive emulsion, combined with large aperture reflecting telescopes, revealed the deepness and richness of the cosmos. The vast telescope of Meudon, which was the largest refracting telescope in Europe, became a legendary instrument and was symbolic of a new way to practice astronomy. Audouin Dollfus, a renowned astronomer, describes the great years of the Meudon telescope. He gives us the entire story of this instrument, from the birth of the concept that drove Jules Janssen at the end of the nineteenth century, to the idea that French astronomy could provide an outstanding telescope which would approach the limits of technical and industrial resources. The telescope remained unchanged until 2006, when the first steps toward restoration and public reopening were taken.

Manuscript. Condizione: Very Good. AUDOUIN DOLLFUS - French Physicist/Astronomer/Discoverer. In 1950, it was thought the planet Mercury, because of its small size, had probably lost its atmosphere through the escape of the molecules into space. Dollfus announced that he had detected a very faint atmosphere from polarization measurements carried out at the Pic-du-Midi Observatory in the French Pyrenees. He also investigated the possibility of an atmosphere around the Moon. The rate of thermal dissipation into space of all but the heavier gases (which are cosmically very scarce) from the Moon is so high that an atmosphere cannot be expected.In 1966 Dollfus discovered JANUS, the innermost moon of Saturn, at a time when the rings to which it is very close were seen edge on from Earth (and practically invisible). SIGNED printed picture of him as an Aeronaut in a balloon with ANS on verso identifies the photo as to when Dollfus using 105 balloons ascended to 42,000 feet for several hours to observe Mars and the Moon. Superb collectible. Autograph.
