Summary
| Description |
English: Spherical or Geometrical Astronomy. The geometrical concepts. Here O is the origin, whatever point it may be; OZ is the fundamental axis passing through it. In order to represent in the figure the position of the fundamental plane, we conceive a circle to be drawn round O, lying in that plane. This circle, projected in perspective as an ellipse, is shown in the figure. OX is the fixed initial line by which directions are to be defined. Illustration from 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, article Astronomy. |
