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. 1849 Excerpt: ...true distance between the centres of Jupiter and the Moon. Remark 1. lnstead of employing assistants to take the altitudes, the observer may, as in the following example, first take the altitude of the body nearest the meridian, then the altitude of the other body, and then an odd number of distances, concluding with taking altitudes in the reverse of the order commenced with. After finding the mean of the distances, and of the corresponding times, the altitudes for this time may be easily computed by proportion, as the change of altitude may be reckoned to be proportional to the change of time. The altitude of the body nearest the meridian is first taken, as its altitude will change uniformly during a longer interval than that of the other body. EXAMPLE V1, January 15, 1849, in Latitude 20o 5' S., and Longitude, by account, 149o 40' W., the following altitudes, and distances between the nearest limbs of the Sun and Moon, were observed: the times being noted from a watch showing apparent time at the ship nearly, the height of the observer's eye being 22 feet, and the errors of the instruments as undernoted. Required the true distance between the centres of the Sun and Moon. F Remark 2. lt may happen that the atmosphere is in a suitable condition for observing a lunar distance, but an undefined horizon may, at same time, prevent the altitudes being observed; in which case it will be necessary to compute the altitudes as in the following example. For this purpose, the apparent time at the ship must be found nearly correct, which may be done as follows. Take altitudes, as in Section 11., either before or after the observation of the lunar distances, from which compute the apparent time at the ship corresponding to the mean of these altitudes. To this apparent ...
