THE CAPE CATALOGUE OF 1159 STARS IBD

Sinopsis

'The Cape Catalogue of 1159 Stars' is a meticulous record of celestial observations conducted at the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope, between 1856 and 1861. Compiled under the authority of the British Admiralty, this catalogue represents a significant contribution to 19th-century astronomy. The data, reduced to the epoch of 1860, offers astronomers and historians a detailed snapshot of the southern skies as observed from the Cape. This catalogue is invaluable for researchers studying stellar positions, proper motions, and the overall structure of the Milky Way. Its historical importance lies in its meticulous methodology and the insight it provides into the scientific practices of a leading astronomical institution. 'The Cape Catalogue' remains a vital resource for anyone interested in the history of astronomy and the evolution of our understanding of the cosmos.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
