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. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...the nautilus curve, will increase its polar distance rapidly during January, as the curve moves from P to A. It will increase its polar distance, but less rapidly, as the curve moves from A to B. At the end of March, viz. near C, a line from the star to the curve cuts the curve at right angles, at which date the polar distance will be a constant. The following extract from the Nautical Almanac for 1887 gives the polar distance of j Draconis on the first and other days of the month: --January 1 38 29' 47'4" January 31 38 29' 57-2" February 10 38 29' 59-7" March 2......... 38 30' 32" March 12 38 30' 4'0" March 22 38 30' 4'2" - April 1 38 30'3'7" $ ohangCB' April 21 38 30' 0-9" When a line from the star to the curve is a tangent to the curve, the right ascension of the star will not vary. An examination of the curve shows that this will occur about midway between E and F; that is, about the end of June. In the Nautical Almanac for 1887, the following are the recorded right ascensions of j Draconis: --b. m. B. May 31 17 54 1'21 June 10.... 17 54 1'34 June 20 17 54 T41 i. June 30 17 54 1'42 f chaDSfcs' July 10 17 54 1-37 July 20 17 54 1'26 The right ascension will then decrease until about the middle of December, when a line from the star is again a tangent to the curve. Whilst, however, the polar distance of the star X TJrsae Minoris varies during the year as much as 4I '3," that of j Draconis will vary only about 38'2." The nearer we approach the equator of second rotation, the less will the change be in polar distance of a star thus situated. Hence, if we project the curve on the plane of the equator of second rotation, we obtain a very close approximation to the effects produced as regards polar...
