Astronomical Register, 1 (February 1863): 19-22, at 20-21. Bessel had found the parallax of Cygni 61 to be 0"·366, (with a probable error of 0"·012), and Struve found the parallax of Cygni 61 to be 0"·5107, (with a probable error of 0"·0282); thus, while both claimed a degree of probable error, their measures were far from any agreement. Airy agreed with Pritchard, (who later attempted to measure the parallax by a photographic method), that these measures of parallax were "not worth a pin." Pritchard, Charles. "Note on the Application of Photography to the Determination of Stellar Parallax." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 47 (January 14, 1887): 87-89. Hopkins, Mary Murray. "The Parallax of 61 Cygni." Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, 10 (November 1916): 498-504. Early measures and calculations by Arago, Peters, and Bessel provided measures with inaccuracies that exceeded their measures, (with instruments incapable of providing a proper measurement); and, Pritchard determined the parallax, (individually), of these binary stars, as 0"·438 for 61 Cygni A and 0"·441 for 61 Cygni B, (from some 200 photographic plates exposed over 55 nights, in 1886). The modern value of this stellar parallax is 0"·287 (or, 287 milliarcseconds, indicating a distance of 11.4 light-years).]

English Mechanic, 38 (no. 966; September 28, 1883): 79-80. "The illustrious Huyghens, in the 17th century, hazarded, a speculation, which seemed plausible at the time, and which we now know to have been reasonably correct. Huyghens compared the diameter of the planet Mars with the sun. He compared the diameter of Venus with the sun. The primitive instruments used were capable of making these measures with some accuracy. Huyghens knew that the earth was also a planet revolving outside the path of Venus and inside that of Mars. Was it not reasonable to assume that the bulk of the earth might be comparable with that of its fellow planets, and intermediate between the bulk of Venus and that of Mars? This assumption—and, of course, it was no more than an assumption—gave the means of guessing the distance of the sun, which was concluded to be about 100 million miles. When guesswork came to be replaced by measurement this estimate of the sun's distance was corrected. It was found to be too large. It was amended first to 95,000,000 miles then to 91,000,000 miles. This was subsequently found rather too small, and it is now generally thought that the sun's distance must be more than 92,000,000 miles but hardly so much as 93,000,000 miles." The modern (2014) measure of an astronomical unit, (the distance from the earth to the sun), is 149,597,870,700 metres, (or, 92,955,807 miles).]

This announcement had hardly found its way into print, when Mr. Alvan Clark, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, through the agency of a new achromatic telescope (recently constructed by him), having an object-glass of eighteen and a half inches in diameter, and an illuminating power exceeding by more than one-half any other achromatic in existence, discovered an object near Sirius, hitherto unknown to astronomers; a discovery since verified by many astronomers in this country and in Europe. It is somewhat difficult to assign a reason why the existence of this body has not been made known before, as it is readily visible through powerful telescopes, even a few minutes after sunset."]

"The results of this experiment were not entirely satisfactory, because the apparent change in the plane of vibration per hour was too great. In every trial made the same error appeared in the same way with a single exception. The cause of the error was the fact that the ball did not keep its swing constantly in a vertical plane. During the last half hour, it was evident that it was swinging in a long and very narrow ellipse, clockwise, as it should go to increase the angular shift of the vertical plane of motion. It was probably disturbed either by not having come to absolute rest before it was freed, or later by air currents due to the movement of visitors too near to it. The experiment will be tried again with improved suspension apparatus and a magnetic attachment to keep the amplitude of the vibration as nearly a constant quantity as possible, during any length of time desired for the trial. When this very delicate experiment is successfully performed it ought also to show the latitude of the place very closely."]
