About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: PROPOSITION III. BY a marked divergence from the preceding rule the orbit of the moon is now inclined to the plane of the earth's equator at a minimum angle of about 18 degrees; being inclined only 5 9' to the plane of the ecliptic, to which the earth's equator is now inclined 23 27' 23, but at the date of the eclipse of Agathocles, B.c. 310, it is calculated by the Astronomer Royal, in two papers of which he did me the honour to present me with a copy1, to have been inclined 23 43' 42, and at the time of the eclipse of Thales, B.c. 585, the obliquity was 23 45' 55. Either, therefore, since the time when the moon revolved in the plane of the earth's equator, that plane has been tilted, by a change in the earth's axis of diurnal rotation, to the extent of about eighteen degrees and a half, or else the change has taken place in the orbit of the moon by some external force; which latter is less likely, especially as the orbit of the moon deviates so much less from the plane of the ecliptic in which the earth's orbit lies. Probably by the same event, whatever it was, the moon's equator was tilted in relation to us to the extent of 6 39', being inclined 1 30' to the ecliptic on the other side. For as the crossing of themoon's orbit and her equator always coincides with the crossing of her orbit and the orbit of the earth (the ecliptic), that inclined position of her axis is indicated to be connected with her relation to the earth; and it would probably result from the tilting of the protuberant matter of the earth's equator acting on the moon's somewhat prolate form towards the earth. But the smaller degree of the inclination of themoon's equator relatively to her orbit (6 39'), being little more than a third part of the tilting of the earth's equator (18) relatively to the ea...
