A Compendium Of Spherical Astronomy: With Its Applications To The Determination And Reduction Of Positions Of The Fixed Stars (1906) is a comprehensive guide to the study of spherical astronomy written by Simon Newcomb. This book is an essential resource for astronomers and astrophysicists who are interested in the study of the positions of fixed stars. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a specific aspect of spherical astronomy. The first section of the book provides an introduction to the principles of spherical astronomy, including the celestial sphere, the equator, and the ecliptic. The second section of the book focuses on the determination of the positions of fixed stars, including the use of star catalogs and the computation of star positions. The third section of the book is devoted to the reduction of star positions, including the correction of aberration and precession. The final section of the book covers the applications of spherical astronomy, including the determination of the positions of planets and the prediction of eclipses. Overall, A Compendium Of Spherical Astronomy: With Its Applications To The Determination And Reduction Of Positions Of The Fixed Stars (1906) is an important reference book for anyone interested in the study of astronomy and astrophysics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
