Abstract:

This paper exposes and explains the synthesis of a mechanism, the Eclipses Abacus, by which the date of solar and lunar eclipses can be predicted and determined sufficiently accurately. Moreover, a three-dimensional (3D) model of this mechanical device is created by using Solid Works application and the simulation of its operation is accomplished by which the accuracy of its predictions can be demonstrated and inspected. This work is significant mainly for education in the field of 3D modeling, mechanism synthesis, and simulation. Moreover, the Eclipses Abacus is interesting for teaching cours

Abstract:

Archaeometry is the application of scientific techniques used to analyze archaeological materials. The Cretan Bronze Age Minoan Kernos, has hitherto, been regarded as a gaming board or for religious purposes. Here, it is shown, that, it was designed, specifically, to predict the occurrence of the 9th. January 1860 BCE Total Solar Eclipse. A prototype magnetic compass was centrally facilitated in a non-magnetic marble structure, whose geomagnetic declination angle, appears to coincide with the Kernos’ eclipse prediction-axis orientation.

Abstract:

A full solar eclipse is going to be visible from a range of states in the contiguous United States on August 21, 2017. Since the atmosphere of the Earth is charged by the sun, the blocking of the sunlight by the moon may cause short term changes to the atmosphere, such as density and temperature alterations. There are many ways to measure these changes, one of these being ionospheric scintillation. Ionospheric scintillation is rapid amplitude and phase fluctuations of signals passing through the ionosphere caused by electron density irregularities in the ionosphere. At mid-latitudes, scintilla

In this chapter, we look at the work of Liu Hong, who emerges as the principal technical consultant involved in the later phases of the debates discussed in the last chapter, although it seems that he only had an official post concerned with celestial observation or calculation at the beginning of his career. He created the last great astronomical system that we shall discuss—the Qian xiang li ‘Uranic Manifestation’ system. This was the first system to give a complete account of the main irregularities of lunar motion, based on a subtle analysis of the mass of data gathered by the routine obse

Abstract:

Albert Einstein abruptly rose to worldwide fame in November 1919, after Arthur Eddington announced the successful measurement of the gravitational light bending predicted by Einstein’s general theory of relativity. The measurement had been performed by an expedition towards two remote Portuguese-speaking destinations, the island of Príncipe in equatorial Africa and Sobral in northern Brazil, where the total solar eclipse of May 29, 1919 was visible and allowed to measure the position of stars close to the Sun, revealing the sought-after effect. This journey was the beginning of a story that st

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter notes the predictions for the next eclipse. Even though there are no predicted total solar eclipses in 2026, a series of eclipses are expected for the following consecutive years. A total eclipse of the Sun will pay a visit to Spain in 2026, then a second total eclipse in 2027, which is less than a year later. Meanwhile, Australia will get two total solar eclipses in less than two and a half years around 2028. The chapter then considers the locations of other eclipses, referencing the Pacific Ocean, the United States, and Alaska. It mentions how every total solar eclipse

Abstract:

Abstract When scientists first turned their attention to solar eclipses, they put them to use to clock the motions of the Moon around the Earth and the Earth around the Sun. By trying to predict the exact time and location of the path of a solar eclipse, astronomers could take note of their errors and refine their knowledge of the orbits of the Earth and Moon. This work was pioneered by Edmond Halley in 1715 for a total eclipse crossing southern England. More than a century later, in the early days of astrophysics, a second use for total eclipses emerged.

Abstract Between the ancient astronomer and the modern eclipse-chaser extend centuries and millennia of human engagement with total solar eclipses all around the world—many of them heavily investing their religious beliefs and political import into both prediction and experience. In this chapter, John Steele presents a brief tour of the observation, prediction, and interpretation of solar eclipses across ancient and medieval Asia up to about the year ad 1000. This is no easy task: Asia covers an enormous geographic area, home to a wide range of cultures, languages, and ancient and modern count

Abstract In August 1999, a solar total eclipse was visible from England – the first such event since 1927. I viewed it from Cornwall, through intermittent cloud. It was an ‘environmental’ experience shared with thousands of new age cultists, astrologers, and the like – I wasn’t carrying out any scientific measurements. But it set me thinking about the scope and limits of science, and particularly the distinction between prediction, explanation, and understanding. Eclipses could be predicted (at least approximately) even in ancient times. Throughout most of the first millennium bc, the Babyloni

Abstract:

Abstract While the study of the solar corona is barely two centuries old, and the study of its physics even more recent, the prediction of eclipses goes back much further in time. A wide variety of theories and techniques put ancient and medieval astronomers in a position to foretell the occurrence and appearance of total solar eclipses. Geographically and chronologically, the following chapter ranges from the ancient Near East to Renaissance Europe, placing a particular focus on the status of eclipses in Hellenistic Greek and later Arabic astronomy and the transmission of the relevant knowled

Abstract Flamboyant, haughty, and renowned for the gold and silver nose that he had fitted to replace the real one he lost in a duel, the Danish nobleman Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) is the most colourful personality that appears in our story. He witnessed the solar eclipse whose prediction so stirred his imagination (p. 44) that he took up astronomy in Copenhagen in 1560. Equally decisive was his observation of a conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in 1563, which occurred on a date differing from the prediction of the Alfonsine Tables by about a month and still by a few days from that of the much ne

Abstract:

‘The dynamic corona’ introduces the layer of the Sun first seen by humans during eclipses. Initially, scientists were troubled by the idea that an outer layer of the Sun was hotter than its core. The corona continuously emits hot plasma and acts as a valve for a build-up of magnetic energy (helicity) that would otherwise stifle cyclic behaviour, such as sunspots. Originally predicted in the 1950s by a scientist using a pressure cooker as a model, the solar wind was identified and sampled shortly afterwards by American and Russian space missions.

Abstract:

Abstract Every advanced ancient society has studied the Moon and the heavens, including the Babylonians, Indians, Mayans, Egyptians, Muslims, and Chinese and especially the Greeks. They learned to make accurate calendars, predict eclipses (and determine why they occur rarely), figure out that the Earth is a sphere, measure the sizes of the Earth and the Moon, calculate the tilt of the Earth’s axis, and observe that it wobbles over time. The most portentous discovery was the realization that the Earth floats freely with nothing to hold it aloft. This made possible the theory of Nicolaus Coperni

In the last decades, missions to minor celestial bodies have gained importance, brought forward by missions like Rosetta, OSIRIS-Rex, Hayabusa, or, more recently, DART. These missions are proof that the interest of the space sector in these bodies is growing, and that they are becoming more accessible, aided by the evolution of the technology and autonomous methodologies required. To assist with the analyses needed for the design of these missions, an effort needs to be made to improve the models used for simulations in such environments.
