Tudor technology: Shakespeare and science 2014-04-04T13:53:10.201Z The satellite will employ the stellar parallax method, which involves tracking the way a star appears to move on the sky when viewed from opposite sides of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Gaia: The 'impossible space mission' ready to fly 2013-08-21T22:35:24Z The first successful measurements of stellar parallaxes were reported in 1838. Astronomy 2016-10-13T00:00:00Z Examples of this mode of procedure will be found, in the case of stellar parallax in the Mem. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 13, Slice 2 "Hearing" to "Helmond" 2012-04-25T02:00:53.567Z These classic researches of Bessel and Struve are the most important in the history of star distances, because they were the first to prove that stellar parallax, although minute, could nevertheless be actually measured. Astronomy: The Science of the Heavenly Bodies 2012-03-17T02:01:02.630Z We cannot, therefore, accept the measurements of stellar parallaxes, &c., as conclusive evidence that the space-constant is large as compared with stellar distances. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 11, Slice 6 "Geodesy" to "Geometry" 2011-09-19T02:00:10.473Z Observations of stellar parallax, however, show that this was a mistake. Astronomy with an Opera-glass A Popular Introduction to the Study of the Starry Heavens with the Simplest of Optical Instruments 2011-07-17T02:00:30.177Z A brief site about the first person to detect stellar parallax, with references and links. Astronomy 2016-10-13T00:00:00Z The next claims that the necessary stellar parallax is too minute to be observed and discusses the earth's annual rotation. The gradual acceptance of the Copernican theory of the universe 2011-04-03T02:00:15.847Z Then there are the stellar parallaxes, now observed for many stars at once photographically, when formerly only one star's parallax could be measured at a time and with the eye at the telescope. Astronomy: The Science of the Heavenly Bodies 2012-03-17T02:01:02.630Z The exhaustive ascertainment of stellar parallaxes, combined with the visible facts of stellar distribution, would enable us to build a perfect plan of the universe in three dimensions. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 7 "Arundel, Thomas" to "Athens" This will bring again to the surface one of the most interesting episodes in astronomical history,Other puzzles explained. the spirited and almost acrimonious dispute between Brinkley and Pond with regard to stellar parallaxes. Astronomical Discovery Certainly it is the method regularly employed, at Dunsink, at the Cape of Good Hope, and everywhere else where stellar parallax is part of the work. Pioneers of Science Bequeathed by South to Trinity College, Dublin, it was employed at the Dunsink Observatory by Brünnow and Ball in their investigations of stellar parallax. A Popular History of Astronomy During the Nineteenth Century Fourth Edition About 1835, Bessel undertook the work of determining stellar parallax in earnest. Astronomy: The Science of the Heavenly Bodies 2012-03-17T02:01:02.630Z The observations for the determination of stellar parallax are founded on the familiar truth that the earth revolves around the sun. The Story of the Heavens No measurement of any stellar parallax, however minute and whatever the result might be, could have any bearing on its truth. Essays Towards a Theory of Knowledge After this discovery it was possible to watch for still outstanding very minute discrepancies; and so the problem of stellar parallax was attacked with fresh vigour by Piazzi, by Brinkley, and by Struve. Pioneers of Science Parallax.—The absence of stellar parallax was the great objection to any theory of the earth’s motion prior to Kepler’s time. History of Astronomy Measurement of stellar parallax is one of many problems of exceeding difficulty that confront the practical astronomer. Astronomy: The Science of the Heavenly Bodies 2012-03-17T02:01:02.630Z The problem of stellar parallax, simple though it is in its conception, is the most delicate and difficult of all which the practical astronomer has to encounter.
