This book gives the student or amateur astronomer the following tools to replicate some of these seminal observations from their own homes:   With your own eyes: Use your own observations and measurements to discover and confirm the phenomena of the seasons, the analemma and the equation of time, the logic behind celestial coordinates, and even the precession of the equinoxes.   With a consumer-grade digital camera: Record the changing brightness of an eclipsing binary star and show that a pulsating star changes color as it brightens and dims. Add an inexpensive diffraction grating to your camera and see the variety of spectral features in the stars, and demonstrate that the Sun?s spectrum is similar to one particular type of stellar spectrum.   With a backyard telescope: Add a CCD imager and you can measure the scale of the Solar System and the distance to a nearby star. You could even measure the distance to another galaxy and observe the cosmological redshift of the expanding universe.   Astronomical Discoveries You Can Make, Too! doesn?t just tell you about the development of astronomy; it shows you how to discover for yourself the essential features of the universe. 410 0$aPopular Astronomy,$x2626-8760 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aHistory 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a509 676 $a520 700 $aBuchheim$b Robert K$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792226 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300431303321 996 $aAstronomical Discoveries You Can Make, Too$91771469 997 $aUNINA
