A Popular History of Astronomy During the Nineteenth Century Fourth Edition The first minor planet was discovered on the first day of the nineteenth century, January 1, 1801, by Piazzi, astronomer at Palermo. Astronomy for Amateurs If there were no Centripetal Force, then the Centrifugal Force would hurl the planets and comets, asteroids or minor planets away into the depths of space, never to return to their central sun. Aether and Gravitation A few of the minor planets appear in powerful telescopes as discs with appreciable dimensions, and they have even been measured with the micrometer. The Story of the Heavens This earth is but one minor planet of a minor system. Daily Thoughts selected from the writings of Charles Kingsley by his wife We turn to the universe, of which while we believed in the Incarnation our earth was the central and all-important scene, but in which it now holds the place only of a minor planet. No Refuge but in Truth No accurate count of asteroids—or minor planets, as they were called—had been made, but the observatory on Mars had charted the orbits of thousands. Rip Foster in Ride the Gray Planet Brown was a clergyman, a minor planet in the vast Warburtonian system, who had already published a volume of comment upon the Characteristics of Shaftesbury. Political Thought in England from Locke to Bentham It seems certain that all the more important of the minor planets have been long since discovered. The Story of the Heavens Eight large or major planets, with their satellites, and a flock of minor planets or planetoids, are revolving round him as their common centre and luminary at various distances, but all in the same direction. A Trip to Venus Since Herschel's time, the number of these minor planets known to astronomers has increased to upwards of one hundred. The Story of the Herschels The system comprises the major planets, with their satellites; the minor planets, or asteroids, and the comets; also, the meteorids, the matter that furnishes the zodiacal light, and the rings of Saturn. The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary Section S He considered that, while the superiority of the heliometer had been proved, the results would be still better with the points of light shown by minor planets rather than with the disc of Mars. History of Astronomy In this way Professor Barnard, late of the Lick Observatory, determined the following values for the diameters of the four first discovered minor planets:— Ceres 485 miles. The Story of the Heavens The belief of Martial astronomers is that Jupiter is not by any means so much less dense than the minor planets as his proportionately lesser weight would imply. Across the Zodiac It has already been noticed that the eight greater planets at present known to us are divided into two groups of four by the intervening belt of minor planets. Story of Creation as Told By Theology and By Science One plan is to be used in treating the motion of the moon, another for the interior planets, another for Jupiter and Saturn, another for the minor planets, and so on. Side-Lights on Astronomy and Kindred Fields of Popular Science In 1888-9, at the Cape, he observed the minor planets Iris, Victoria, and Sappho, and secured the co-operation of four other heliometers. History of Astronomy There can be no doubt that the total mass of all the minor planets at present known is not more than a very small fraction of the amount to which these calculations point. The Story of the Heavens The combined bulk of these minor planets is believed to be but a fraction of that of the earth. A History of Science — Volume 3 Over a hundred years ago the English astronomer, Chambers, wrote of having found traces of atmosphere in some of these minor planets, but it was generally thought he was mistaken. A journey in other worlds A romance of the future Captured probably by some larger body, it was revolving in its proper zone of the minor planets. Off on a Comet! a Journey through Planetary Space The demands of astronomy, especially in regard to small minor planets, required a transit instrument and mural circle with a more powerful telescope. History of Astronomy Some of the orbits of the minor planets are also greatly elongated ellipses, while, of course, the orbits of the large planets do not much depart from the circular form. The Story of the Heavens He was but a little earth parasite, sitting idle in the darkling day, trying to understand his infinitesimal functions on a minor planet. Soul of a Bishop One reason we know so little about this great swarm of minor planets is, that till recently none of them showed a disk to the telescope. A journey in other worlds A romance of the future Thus might be explained the hundreds of planetoids, or minor planets, which we find between Mars and Jupiter. The Story of Evolution In approaching the subject of the minor planets we must be prepared to find objects of dimensions quite inconsiderable in comparison with the great spheres of our system. The Story of the Heavens The value for Juno is, however, very uncertain, and by far the greater number of the minor planets are very much smaller than the figures here given would indicate. The Story of the Heavens Since 1891 the method of searching for minor planets which we have just described has been almost abandoned in favour of a process greatly superior. The Story of the Heavens But the case is different with a minor planet. The Story of the Heavens This method has already been applied with success by Dr. Gill in the case of Juno, and there are other members of the host of minor planets still more favourably circumstanced. The Story of the Heavens In the chapter on the minor planets I have entered into a discussion of the way in which these objects are discovered. The Story of the Heavens It was in the pure skies of Palermo that the observatory was situated where the memorable discovery of the first known minor planet was made by Piazzi. The Story of the Heavens The danger was, that Neptune should have been merely dropped upon by simple survey work, just as Uranus was discovered, or just as the hosts of minor planets are now found. The Story of the Heavens Or it might be one of the minor planets moving between Mars and Jupiter. The Story of the Heavens We hear constantly that new minor planets are observed, yet no one attaches to such achievements a fraction of the consequence belonging to the discovery of Neptune. The Story of the Heavens Even the minor planets must be regarded as colossal objects when compared with those little bodies whose presence is revealed to us in an interesting and sometimes in a striking manner. The Story of the Heavens We therefore conclude that there must be a vast number of minor planets which have not yet been recognised in the observatory. The Story of the Heavens A minor planet occasionally draws near the orbit of Jupiter and experiences his attraction; the planet is forced to swerve from its path, and the amount of the deviation can be measured. The Story of the Heavens We have thus gained but little by the suggestion of a minor planet, for we have not found that a moderate volcanic power would be adequate. The Story of the Heavens It may be noted that the recognition of the celestial origin of meteorites happens to be simultaneous with the discovery of the first of the minor planets. The Story of the Heavens We have, indeed, already illustrated this point in discussing the minor planets. The Story of the Heavens A skilful band of computers make it their duty to provide for the "Berlin Year-Book" detailed information as to the movements of the minor planets. The Story of the Heavens To concentrate our ideas, we shall consider one of the minor planets, and for this purpose let us take Ceres. The Story of the Heavens This is the real source of the value of the minor planet method. The Story of the Heavens Each year will witness the approach of some one or more minor planets sufficiently close to the earth to render the method applicable. The Story of the Heavens It is, however, possible to obviate even this objection, and thus to give the minor planet method a supremacy over its rival which cannot be disputed. The Story of the Heavens For the determination of the sun's distance this method by the minor planets offers unquestionable advantages. The Story of the Heavens We allude to the multitude of minor planets, all confined within a certain region of the system. The Story of the Heavens
