Astronomical Revelations: In Which The True Physical Causes Of The Precession Of The Quinoctial Points (1887) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781166419684)

Astronomical Revelations: In Which The True Physical Causes Of The Precession Of The Quinoctial Points (1887) is a book written by Edward Dexter. It explores the true physical causes of the precession of the equinoxes, a phenomenon in which the equinoxes slowly move westward along the ecliptic. The book presents a detailed analysis of the astronomical observations and theories that led to the discovery of the precession of the equinoxes, and proposes a new theory to explain the phenomenon. Dexter argues that the precession is caused by the gravitational influence of the sun and moon on the earth's equatorial bulge, and provides mathematical calculations to support his theory. The book is a valuable resource for astronomers and anyone interested in the history and development of astronomical theories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
