About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ...300 8 " = sin 17, roughly, and the solar ecliptio limit is about 17, 293. Major and Minor Ecliptic Limits.--Owing to the variations in the distances of the Sun and Moon their parallaxes and angular semi-diameters are not quite constant. Hence the exact limits of the Moon's latitude l, as calculated hy the method of 291, are subject to small variations. This alone would render the ecliptic limits variable. But there is another cause of variation in the ecliptic limits, arising from the fact that I, the inclination of the Moon's orbit, is also variable, its greatest and least values being about 52(y and 4 57'. The greatest and least values of the limits for each kind of eclipse are called the Major and Minor Ecliptic Limits. For an eclipse of the Moon the-major and minor ecliptic limits have been calculated to be about 12 5' and 9 30' respectively at the present time. For an eclipse of the Sun the limits are 18 31' and 15 21' respectively. Thus a lunar eclipse may tako place if the Moon, when full, is within 12 5' of a node; and a lunar eclipse mast take place if the full Moon is within 9 30' of a node. Similarly, a solar eclipse may take place if the Moon, when new, is within 18 31', and a solar eclipse most take place if the new Moon is within 15 21' of a node. The mean values of the lunar and solar ecliptic limits are now 10 47' and 16 56'. But the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit is very slowly decreasing; consequently the major limits are smaller and the minor limits larger than they were, say, a thousand years ago. 294. Synodic Revolution of the Moon's Nodes.--An eclipse is thus only possible at a time when the Sun is within a certain angular distance of the Moon's nodes. Hence the period of revolution of the Moon's nodes, relative to the S...
