  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

This change took place over the course of the eighteenth century, when nature, from being conceived of as a settled state subject to cyclical change, came to be seen as mobile and mutable. The sense of a mobile, mutable nature--the dissertation's central trope--arose from the experience of travel and discovery, which was accompanied from the first by a vigorous process of transplantation. Plants and seeds were carried across oceans, having been dug up on one continent to be replanted often in another. From being static and predictable, plant life therefore became, for scholars and poets alike, dynamic, mutable, and adaptable. I focus on the writings of a small group of men in the Anglo-American world, including John and William Bartram, Peter Collinson, Alexander Garden, John Ellis, and Carl Linnaeus, who were engaged in the work of transporting, planting, writing about, and classifying botanical objects.

  • Benjamin Franklin and the Universality of Science
    benjamin Franklin and the Universality of Science ENJAMIN FRANKLIN was a man of the Enlightenment with his feet on the ground and his thoughts focused on the welfare of B mankind. Typical of the eighteenth-century natural philos- ophers, he believed that science transcends politics and that scien- tists are citizens of the world. As "Plenipotentiary from the Congress of the United States to the Court of France" he was concerned im- mediately with the problems of enlisting French aid for the Americans in their revolt against England; yet he was not too busy to recommend the safe passage of Captain James Cook when the famous English ex- plorer was expected to return from his third voyage into the Pacific. At Passy, on March 10, 1779, Franklin addressed a letter "To all Captains and Commanders of armed ships acting by Commission from the Congress of the United States of America, now in war with Great Britain" in which he asked them to respect the nature of Cook's expedition— an Undertaking truly laudable in itself, as the Increase of Geographical Knowledge facilitates the Communication between distant Nations, in the Exchange of useful Products and Manufactures, and the Extension of Arts, whereby the common Enjoyments of human Life are multiply'd and aug- mented, and Science of other kinds increased to the benefit of Mankind in general.1 Nine days later, M. Sartine, secretary of the Marine Department at Paris, issued a similar letter: ... it is the King's pleasure, that Capt. Cook shall be treated as a Com- mander of a neutral and allied Power, and that all captains of armed ves- l Albert Henry Smyth, ed., The Writings of Benjamin Franklin (New York, 1907), VII, 242, hereinafter cited as Smyth.

Received 2020 December 7; in original form 2020 February 22 ABSTRACT We present a new derivation of the star formation history (SFH) of the dSph galaxy Fornax in two central regions, characterised by unprecedented precision and age resolution. It reveals that star formation has proceeded in sharp bursts separated by periods of low-level or quies- cent activity. The SFH was derived through colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) fitting of two extremely deep Hubble Space Telescope CMDs, sampling the centre and one core radius. The attained age resolution allowed us to single out a major star formation episode at early times, a second strong burst 4.6 ± 0.4 Gyr ago and recent intermittent episodes ∼ 2 − 0.2 Gyr ago.

PARSONS McNeil Center for Early American Studies and KATHLEEN S. MURPHY California Polytechnic State University abstract The ocean was frequently as hostile an environment for plants and animals as it was for humankind in the eighteenth century. Existing methods of preserving the plants, fish, birds, and land animals that provided the raw materials for European science increasingly proved insufficient for the often long voyages that brought them from colonial and indigenous collectors; specimens arrived dead when they were needed alive, rotten and damaged when they were needed whole, and they fre- quently suffered as they encountered negligent and uninterested sailors, and rats and other shipboard pests that showed too much interest. This paper examines strategies of specimen transport adopted by French and British naturalists in the Atlantic world during the first half of the eigh- teenth century, arguing for the importance of maritime spaces that have often been overlooked in histories of the expanding reach of European science. Atlantic networks of specimen transport were simultaneously dis- tinctly national and endlessly entangled. Efforts to discipline maritime social environments diverged along distinctly national lines, influenced by larger patterns of scientific sociability in both Britain and France.

  • The Banksian Botanical 'Suite' Arrives in Madeira on HMS Endeavour
    TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS AGO: THE BANKSIAN BOTANICAL ‘SUITE’ ARRIVES IN MADEIRA ON HMS ENDEAVOUR Jordan Goodman* Abstract HMS Endeavour, the first British ship to circumnavigate the world on a scientific mission, had its first stop in Funchal on 12 August 1768 on the way to the Pacific. It was not a big ship and it sailed on its own. Not only was this a scientific voyage –initially making for Tahiti where Venus’s track across the sky could be accurately measured– but it had a remarkable and unique entourage dedicated to observing and recording the natural world. Though the ship’s commander, Lieutenant James Cook, had a good reason to call into the island’s principal port, it could have been otherwise: sea conditions, unpredictable at the best of times, might have forced him to head for Tenerife instead. Had this happened, the botanical history of Madeira might have been quite different. Fortunately for Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander, the ship’s botanists, the sea was kind and the two men, the latter Linnaeus’s best student, were able to bring Hans Sloane’s pioneering botanical observations, made more than seventy years earlier, into the modern age. Keywords: Banks, Botanical history, HMS Endeavour, Madeira, Solander. HACE 250 AÑOS: BANKS LLEGA A MADEIRA EN EL ENDEAVOUR 27 Resumen El Endeavour, el primer barco inglés en circunnavegar el Globo en misión científica, hizo su primera parada en Funchal el 12 de agosto de 1768, en su camino hacia el Pacífico. No era un barco grande y navegaba en solitario. Además de su principal misión –observar y medir el tránsito de Venus en Tahití–, debía observar y registrar la naturaleza de los lugares visitados.

Still, there are larger craters on the Moon, so why is Copernicus special? The answer is simple: because the crater faces Earth directly, it looks nice and round, exactly the way everyone thinks a crater should look. But what really makes Coper- nicus special is its halo of rays. These wispy streamers stretch outward in every direction. Like the crater itself, they are brightest when the Moon is full. Take a close look at these feather-like Copernicus splashes. When a big object blasts out a crater, the smallest particles travel farthest from the point of impact. This spray of rock then falls in a splash pattern onto the lunar surface. This material looks bright because it’s made up of crushed and broken rock, which Copernicus, King of Craters By Edmund A.
