9.99 €
The science of celestial luminaries - astronomy - is one of the oldest. Even in ancient times, people looked at the sky and tried to find answers to many not only philosophical but also practical questions.
Stars and planets helped to navigate the terrain and determine time. Thanks to the knowledge received from the heavens, it became possible to predict the periodicity of solar and lunar eclipses and make calendars, and maritime navigation began to develop.
What are celestial coordinates and star charts? How are latitude and longitude measured? How does the sky change throughout the year? How do you learn to locate your position by the sun, moon, and stars? The publication discusses in detail the tasks of practical astronomy, explains how to accurately measure the stars, and provides information about measuring instruments and methods of working with them.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers of different ages interested in the structure of the Universe.
