    1 THE STUDY OF SATURN'S RINGS 1610-1675, Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Field of History of Science by Albert Van Haden Department of History of Science and Technology Imperial College of Science and Teohnology University of London May, 1970 2 ABSTRACT Shortly after the publication of his Starry Messenger, Galileo observed the planet Saturn for the first time through a telescope. To his surprise he discovered that the planet does.not exhibit a single disc, as all other planets do, but rather a central disc flanked by two smaller ones. In the following years, Galileo found that Sa- turn sometimes also appears without these lateral discs, and at other times with handle-like appendages istead of round discs. These ap- pearances posed a great problem to scientists, and this problem was not solved until 1656, while the solution was not fully accepted until about 1670. This thesis traces the problem of Saturn, from its initial form- ulation, through the period of gathering information, to the final stage in which theories were proposed, ending with the acceptance of one of these theories: the ring-theory of Christiaan Huygens. Although the improvement of the telescope had great bearing on the problem of Saturn, and is dealt with to some extent, many other factors were in- volved in the solution of the problem. It was as much a perceptual problem as a technical problem of telescopes, and the mental processes that led Huygens to its solution were symptomatic of the state of science in the 1650's and would have been out of place and perhaps impossible before Descartes.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

  • The Telescope
    THE TELESCOPE Robert W. Smith – University of Alberta Suggested Citation: Robert W. Smith, “The Telescope,” Encyclopedia of the History of Science (June 2021) doi: 10.34758/8scg-y498 The telescope as a working device was invented in the opening decade of the seventeenth century. Through its use and for the first time, novel phenomena were quickly revealed that had previously been invisible. While instruments had long been central to the practice of astronomy, the science was highly mathematical and directed to measuring and calculating the positions of celestial bodies. The telescope therefore initially had little to offer to astronomy as it was conventionally understood around 1610. In time, however, the device so changed the field that the history of astronomy falls into two main periods, one before the telescope’s invention and one after. In the first period, observations of the heavens were restricted to what could be detected with the naked eye, while in the second the telescope provided the means to examine familiar objects in new and more detailed ways, as well as to observe astronomical bodies too faint to register on the human eye. Instruments, it has been argued, determine what can be done, and “they also determine to some extent what can be thought. Often the instrument provides a possibility; it is an initiator of investigation."1 The ways in which astronomers and natural philosophers viewed and thought about the universe were transformed through the telescope’s use, and its invention brought about a profound social change as the practice of astronomy was no longer restricted to the learned.

Weitz, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, and approved May 27, 2020 (received for review January 17, 2020) Plato envisioned Earth’s building blocks as cubes, a shape rarely soil, the fracture mosaics cut into stressed landscapes (Fig. 3) found in nature. The solar system is littered, however, with form pathways for focused fluid flow, dissolution, and erosion distorted polyhedra—shards of rock and ice produced by ubiqui- that further disintegrate these materials (33, 34) and reorga- tous fragmentation. We apply the theory of convex mosaics to nize landscape patterns (35, 36). Moreover, fracture patterns show that the average geometry of natural two-dimensional (2D) in rock determine the initial grain size of sediment supplied to fragments, from mud cracks to Earth’s tectonic plates, has two rivers (36, 37). attractors: “Platonic” quadrangles and “Voronoi” hexagons. In Experiments and simulations provide anecdotal evidence that three dimensions (3D), the Platonic attractor is dominant: Remark- the geometry of fracture mosaics is genetically related to the ably, the average shape of natural rock fragments is cuboid.
