Astronomy of To-day A Popular Introduction in Non-Technical Language The movements of Phobos seemed very peculiar to us who had lived upon the earth and seen all the celestial bodies appearing to move in the same direction. To Mars via The Moon An Astronomical Story Indeed, with the exception of the moon, we are better acquainted with the details of the surface of Mars than with those of any other celestial body. The Story of the Heavens Solar and lunar worship was but the recognition in the primitive consciousness of the superior worth-ship of these celestial bodies. Moon Lore You look through the telescope toward that part of the sea directly beneath the celestial body to be observed. Lectures in Navigation The actual distances of certain celestial bodies being thus ascertainable, it becomes a matter of no great difficulty to determine the actual sizes of the measurable ones. Astronomy of To-day A Popular Introduction in Non-Technical Language Suppose his rocket crashed upon a planet, or the star itself, or became a captive satellite of some celestial body? The Jameson Satellite The intrinsic importance of the moon, when compared with other celestial bodies, may be small; it is, indeed, as we shall afterwards see, almost infinitesimal. The Story of the Heavens We can not detain the celestial bodies in their course; neither can we check any of those moral movements that gravitate with irresistible force towards their center of attraction: Justice. The Woman and the Right to Vote But it is always changing with relation to these celestial bodies. Lectures in Navigation It is by the application of this principle to the wider field of the sky that we are able to ascertain the distance of celestial bodies. Astronomy of To-day A Popular Introduction in Non-Technical Language Probably, however, though they noted the time of rising and setting of the celestial bodies, they only made instrumental observations upon them when these bodies were high in the heavens. Myths and Marvels of Astronomy We find in the other celestial bodies abundant evidence of the present or the past existence of heat. The Story of the Heavens From these considerations Copernicus deduced the important fact that the stars and other important celestial bodies must all be vast objects. The Great Events by Famous Historians, Volume 09 Second, the earth is moving in an elliptic track around the sun, and third, certain celestial bodies themselves are moving in a track of their own. Lectures in Navigation The change of position thus offered by one side of the earth's surface at a time is, however, not sufficient to displace any but the nearest celestial bodies. Astronomy of To-day A Popular Introduction in Non-Technical Language So long as the earth was regarded as the centre round which all the celestial bodies move, it was hopeless to attempt to shake men's faith in the influences of the stars. Myths and Marvels of Astronomy At the equator it is on the horizon; while if we cross the line, we find on entering the southern hemisphere that this useful celestial body has become invisible. The Story of the Heavens She cares for only one person—herself, and that self she regards as a celestial body around which all other lesser bodies should revolve. Grey Town An Australian Story I. The Pelorus This is an instrument for taking bearings of distant objects, and for taking bearings of celestial bodies such as the sun, stars, etc. Lectures in Navigation We have seen that the usual shape of celestial bodies themselves is spherical. Astronomy of To-day A Popular Introduction in Non-Technical Language The interest with which astronomy is studied by many who care little or nothing for other sciences is due chiefly to the thoughts which the celestial bodies suggest respecting life in other worlds than ours. Myths and Marvels of Astronomy The argument may be supported and illustrated by comparing the shape of our earth with the shapes of some of the other celestial bodies. The Story of the Heavens The motion of celestial bodies as viewed from the earth.

Lectures in Navigation It is distinguished from all the other planets, in fact from all known celestial bodies, through being girt around its equator by what looks like a broad, flat ring of exceeding thinness. Astronomy of To-day A Popular Introduction in Non-Technical Language If these two bodies, the sun and moon, are thus potent, must it not be supposed, reasoned the astronomers of old, that the other celestial bodies exert corresponding influences? Myths and Marvels of Astronomy We speak not now of celestial bodies only seen in the telescope; we refer to the ordinary observation which detected Venus ages before telescopes were invented. The Story of the Heavens An artificial means of catching the altitude of a celestial body when the sea horizon is obscured by fog, darkness, or the intervention of land; a simple one is still the greatest desideratum of navigators. The Sailor's Word-Book An Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms, including Some More Especially Military and Scientific, but Useful to Seamen; as well as Archaisms of Early Voyagers, etc. But the changes arising from the earth's motion in its orbit and the motion of various celestial bodies in their orbits, are true no matter on what point of the earth you happen to be. Lectures in Navigation In the foregoing chapters we have dealt at length with those celestial bodies whose nearness to us brings them into our especial notice. Astronomy of To-day A Popular Introduction in Non-Technical Language As this quadrant was fitted only to determine the altitudes of the celestial bodies, Tycho constructed a large sextant for the purpose of measuring their distances. The Martyrs of Science, or, The lives of Galileo, Tycho Brahe, and Kepler Assuming, therefore, with Tschermak, that many meteorites have had a volcanic origin on some considerable celestial body, we are led to agree with those who think that most probably that body is the earth.

Lectures in Navigation The other celestial bodies all wheel their courses in circles around the common centre. Ups and Downs in the Life of a Distressed Gentleman They noticed that an immutable law regulated the movements of the celestial bodies, and, in the first enthusiasm of their discovery they extended its effects to all moral and social phenomena. The Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism If we made the attempt to describe the celestial bodies in the order of their actual magnitude, our ignorance must at once pronounce the task to be impossible.

Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Instantly his trained eye recognized the fact that this strange round object shooting through the air was no wandering celestial body. The Man Who Rocked the Earth On the other hand the form of a celestial body which entirely fills the potentiality of its matter, so that the latter does not retain the potentiality to another form, is in its subject inseparably. Summa Theologica, Part II-II (Secunda Secundae) Translated by Fathers of the English Dominican Province At first men imagined the celestial bodies to be, as they seemed, small objects not very far away.

Summa Theologica, Part I (Prima Pars) From the Complete American Edition On one celestial body the changes of distance produce an enormous effect, on another the modifications are insignificant. Biographies of Distinguished Scientific Men But as the Earth is not the only celestial body possessing attraction, it is evident that there may be a point in space where the respective attractions may be entirely annihilated by mutual counteraction. All Around the Moon In this category of questions probably the most frequently discussed was the possibility that other celestial bodies in the universe were populated with intelligent beings. The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects The Tarahumares are careful observers of the celestial bodies, and know the Pleiades, the Belt of Orion, and the Morning and the Evening Star. Unknown Mexico, Volume 1 (of 2) A Record of Five Years' Exploration Among the Tribes of the Western Sierra Madre; In the Tierra Caliente of Tepic and Jalisco; and Among the Tarascos of Michoacan Therefore for this reason the matter of the celestial bodies is different from that of the elemental, because the matter of the celestial is not in potentiality to an elemental form. Summa Theologica, Part I (Prima Pars) From the Complete American Edition If attraction is the result of the impulse of a fluid, its action ought to employ a finite time in traversing the immense spaces which separate the celestial bodies.
