In addition to helping to crack difficult cases, these studies spark our imagination and provide a better understanding of the skies. Weather archives, vintage maps, tides, historical letters and diaries, military records and the assistance of experts in related fields help with this work. For each historical event influenced by astronomy, there is a different kind of mystery to be solved. How did the changing tides affect an army's battle plans? How did the phases of the moon affect how an artist painted a landscape? Follow these exciting investigations with a master ?celestial sleuth? as he tracks down the truth and helps unravel mysteries as far back as the Middle Ages and as recent as the iconic 1945 photograph of a kiss in Times Square on VJ Day. Topics or "cases" pursued were chosen for their wide public recognition and intrigue and involve artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet; historical events such as the campaigns of Braveheart in Scotland, battles in World War II and the Korean War; and literary authors such as Chaucer, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Byron, and Edgar Allan Poe. 410 0$aPopular Astronomy,$x2626-8760 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aFine arts 606 $aPhysics 606 $aLiterature, Modern?18th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?19th century 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 $aFine Arts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/416010 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aEighteenth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/819000 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aFine arts. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?18th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?19th century. 615 14$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aFine Arts. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aEighteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 676 $a808.80358 700 $aOlson$b Donald W$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791304 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300539703321 996 $aFurther Adventures of the Celestial Sleuth$92512351 997 $aUNINA
