Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book documents Charles Perrine's investigation into the astronomical unit, as defined by the distance from the Earth to the Sun. The study is remarkable for its precision and startling revelations. Perrine's work began following the untimely passing of his revered mentor when he…was tasked with managing all duties associated with the Crossley reflecting telescope. His experience, enthusiasm, and competence through this trying period were central to successfully securing the observational material that the project required. The author used photography for determinations of the highest precision, presenting a plan of reduction designed to detect errors peculiar to photographic methods. The national and international collaboration and data sharing that were central to the author's work are discussed, and the influence of his approach to data collection and analysis on the development of astronomy is explained. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
