About This Item
1774 Lalande Astronomy Navigation Mathematics Moon Telescope Newton Illustrated
Jerome Lalande was an 18th-century French astronomer who is best remembered for his contributions to the legibility of astronomical tables. From these tables, Lalande composed a collection of astronomy textbooks, textbooks which would become standard literature on practical astronomical study.
This 1774 edition of 'Astronomie' features 16 impressive, folding engravings. These illustrations depict star charts, armillary spheres, navigational tools and compasses, planetary motion, phases of the moon, and much more.
