Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We assume we move about in a three-dimensional world and this is borne out by experience. Interestingly, the whole visualized environment emanates from a vanishing point on the horizon and is focussed on each individual observer. The author discusses Newton's Inverse Square Law, Max Jammer's Concepts of Space and considers how various geometries (Euclidean, Hyperbolic, Spherical) may coexist for the observer.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Imagine standing on the shore of a large lake looking to a clear horizon. The Moon is moderately high and casts a sparkling line on the water that is distinctly centred on you.The author considers such common situations as moonlight on water and sunlight on snow to show that our position is crucial: when we move bright specular reflections follow us on top of a diffuse background.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Observations were made over a great lake with a clear view to the horizon of moonsets that displayed a duplicate image below. This is known as an Etruscan Vase or an Omega effect because of the shape. Three causes of the inferior image are considered: refraction, reflection, or gravitation. 'Since the phenomenon is only seen from a low vantage point looking over a level surface to a clear horizon it underscores the importance of the observer's position.'. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why does the Moon's altitude and azimuth (its position along the horizon) vary from night to night What do people at the equator or in polar regions see The Moon is a creature of the tropics: from mid-to-high latitudes, about midnight we look towards the equator to see it at its highest altitude, and it will appear progressively lower as you move away from the tropics. From high latitudes it undulates just above the horizon for multiple days and nights. From whatever latitude, each night the Moon's path and altitude vary because its orbit is tilted relative to the Earth's equator, and due to the fixed axial tilt of the Earth in its orbit, the Moon appears higher in winter than in summer.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Des observations ont été effectuées au-dessus d'un grand lac offrant une vue dégagée sur l'horizon des couchers de lune, dont l'image était reproduite en dessous. Ce phénomène est appelé effet vase étrusque ou effet Oméga en raison de sa forme. Trois causes sont envisagées pour expliquer cette image de qualité inférieure: la réfraction, la réflexion ou la gravitation. Comme ce phénomène n'est visible que depuis un point d'observation bas, surplombant une surface plane vers un horizon dégagé, il souligne l'importance de la position de l'observateur.…
