| 概要 | Determination of the longitude is the unification of space and time. The course note is presented to understand the points in the longitude problem within the framework of 16-8 Centuries. Establishing local time is difficult, because there are leads and lags of the Sun's culminations, known as 'Equation of Time.' The Sun's motion in the celestial sphere is nonlinear because of geometrical and gravitational reasons. The novel algorithm is proposed to get the rigorous Equation of Time. Three brilliant astronomers, Edmond Halley, Nevil Maskelyne and Manuel John Johnson, had stayed in St Helena. They themselves determined the longitude of the island by different methods. By use of their and other observations of astronomical events the new calculations are available. These are the sources of the exercises. |
