Astro / And it be that all astronomical work for nothing—But it is much simpler to regard sun as central, al planets, and earth, moving around it. We regard it as taking a convenience as veritable. But the convenience may be retained. [AF-I; 191.]
Astro / Approximations / Could have any theory is neglect the interfering. / There is a beneficient Providence—neglect catastrophes, etc. [AF-I; 192.]
Astro / Ap. 26, 1863 / Sat of Jupiter disap and reap simultaneous. / Astro Reg 1863-95. [AF-I; 193. Wray, William. "Jupiter's Satellites." Astronomical Register, 1 (June 1863): 95. Wray wrote: "At 8h. 44m. on Sunday eveniug, the 26th of April, when the 2nd Satellite of Jupiter was occulted by the Planet, a most extraordinary phenomenon took place: the Satellite was distinctly seen to be projected clearly inside the limb of Jupiter for near twenty seconds." The Editor responded: "We observed the same occultation at Clapton, telescope 4 ft. focus, 3|in. aperture: power 100. Although no projection on the disc was noted, the Satellite seemed to disappear and appear again several times before it was finally occulted by the Planet."]
Astro / Ap 3, 1883 / Dr Hartwig announces had picked up D'Arrest's Comet—daily m[otion] that should have o[note crumbling] nebula—of course no daily motion. / Nature 27/589 / found not a comet. [AF-I; 194. "D'Arrest's Comet." Nature, 27 (April 19, 1883): 589. "The 'daily motion' assigned to the object in the first telegram, notwithstanding, its precise accordance in amount and direction with that which the comet would have had in that position, was therefore an illusion." "Ephemeris of D'Arrest's Comet." Observatory, 6 (1883): 163. "The discovery of D'Arrest's comet on April 4 at Strasburg Observatory was announced in the 'Dun-Echt Circular,' No. 76; but the annoucement was corrected shortly after, the object which was mistaken for the comet proving to be a small nebula. The circular likewise gave the daily motion of the object. This was not from any error in observation on Dr. Hartwig's part, who simply announced the place of the supposed comet, but was inserted from the ephemeris, by Prof. Krueger in his telegram to Harvard College, for the assistance of American astronomers, who were not, he believed, in possession of an ephemeris."

Astro / big telescopes / Denning (Observatory, 8-81) quotes Dr Kitchen that "Immense telescopes are only about as useful as the enormous telescopes which are suspended over the doors of opticians." He says that he is far from subscribing to this opinion, but tells of the great drawback, of the inferior definition. / More, page 208. {AF-I: 195.1, 195.2. (Observatory, 8-81. (Observatory, 8-208.)]

Astro / Claims of astronomers—The ashy light, or secondary light on moon, or "earth shine". Flammarion, Popular Astronomy, p 100, says that because of variations in this light, differently reflected by land and by water, astronomers suspected the existence of Australia, before the "geographical discovery" of Australia.

Astro / (+) / Comet 1882 / In Knowledge 2-328, Proctor gives a math. demonstration upon the orbit of the Sept comet, of 1882. He formulates its path and predicts its return, "so far as observations hitherto made, enable me to judge (published Oct 13th), presumably considerably more than Prof. X's 8 hours—"I expect the comet back in less than half a year." / Prof X is Prof Tait, in an address to students of University of Edinburgh, that been calculated this comet was 40 or 50 millions of miles away. How they measure this distance? It required only 6 or 8 hours observation to enable an astronomer to calculate its path and the rate of speed at which it was moving. / See how Overton calculated its path. / But Observatory 5-322, "Mr. Hind suggests the probability of its return in October, 1883. / Prof Frisby then found that it would return in 793 years and 789th/1000, and Prof Kreatz, computing the elements of its orbit, found that be back in 843 years. / Observatory, 6/234.

Astro / Comp. Sirius / In The Story of the Heavens (edition of 1890) Sir Robert Ball says, p. 388, that—though 28 years later—astronomers were scarcely in a position yet to speak with accuracy, but he says: "We shall, however, using the best observations available, take this time (complete revolution) to be forty-nine years."

"Supposing the comet of 1843, which had been before moving in a period of more than 100 years, moved after 1843 in a period of 37 years, and after 1880 in a period of less than 3 years, so as to be back at perihelion on September 17th last, we might fairly infer it would not be at all unreasonable to infer that its next circuit would be accomplished in a year. Let us see, then, in what time, roughly, it would accomplish any distance from the sun on its elongated orbit." "For my own part—so far as observations litherto made enable me to judge—I expect the comet back in less than half a year." "When Will the Comet Return?" Sidereal Messenger, 1 (December 1882): 224-227. "Serials Received." Knowledge, o.s., 3 (April 6, 1883.): 209. "Editorial Notes." Astronomy and Astro-Physics, 2 (June 1883): 124-132, at 131. "Knowledge (April 6) says:" "The Sidereal Messenger, December, 1882 (Northfield, Minnesota). This little magazine contains chiefly borrowed articles and editorial notes. A paper from Knowledge, on Comet 1882, should not have been reprinted without some remark to the effect that the observations on which Mr. Proctor based his opinion respecting the speedy return of the comet were inexact." "'Chiefly borrowed articles!' Knowledge ought to know that such a statement is grossly untrue. As to Mr. Proctor's prediction of the speedy return of the comet, we then thought, and still think that it was a unique piece of haste and bold guessing for a skillful mathematician. If Mr. Proctor had been less anxious to publish something definite about the period of the comet, when nothing certain could be known, at that time, from the best existing observations, possibly the 'little' Messenger would have been spared its first unpleasant criticism, which is now rather amusing, in that astronomers have not yet determined its period certainly after six months of exact observation and computation. It ought to be said, further, that the comet article was reprinted not at all on account of its sensational predictions (for reasons already stated), but rather because of a simple and really neat application of the principles of the Cycloidal Geometry, which we used with favorable comment before classes in the higher mathematics." As this was not the same cometary object observed in 1843 nor in 1880, Proctor's prediction of its return in a more rapid orbit, (some six months later), came to naught; whereas, modern estimates suggest orbital periods of centuries. See: 1843 March, (II; 586). Comets C/1843 D1, C/1880 C1, and C/1882 R1.]

In the distant past, the Moon's orbit was closer to the Earth, (giving it a larger angular diameter than at its current perigees, with more total solar eclipses); and, in the distant future, the Moon's orbit will be further from the Earth, (giving it a smaller angular diameter than at its current apogees, with more annular solar eclipses).]

All the tables of planetary motion, all the formulas and deductions of celestial mechanics are based upon the assumption that these smaller bodies, and this scattered matter, have and can have no effect upon the motions of the planets. In a first approximation to the planetary motions, this assumption is essential; the equations of celestial mechanics would be unworkable if an attempt were made to introduce factors representing these bodies. As will be seen in a subsequent chapter, the mathematical difficulties in tracing the paths of even a limited number of bodies, are almost unsurmountable; to attempt to formulate theories of motion of a great number of heterogeneous bodies of all sizes and conditions would be hopeless."]

"At the risk of setting the teeth of the readers of the English Mechanic on edge, and rendering meteorology still more contemptible, I venture, with extreme diffidence, to give further publicity to a few facts connected with the subject of the Aurora. During the period from December 31st, 1872, to January 7th, 1873, inclusive, when gales were prevalent, much thunder and lightning was reported to the Meteorological Office, as well as displays of the Aurora, some very brilliant. It is interesting to notice that on those occasions when auroræ were frequent electrical discharges were most numerous; also that on some occasions the auroral discharge was confined to but a small portion of the earth's surface, the South of England for example. Auroræ appear to have ceased with the cessation of thunder-storms about the date last mentioned. Perhaps some bold theorist may find a fitting-place for these odd facts."]
