8vo. 108 pp. Illus., diagrs., index. Blue cloth; spine faded, small paper spine label. With Carnegie Mount Wilson Observatory blind-stamp. Lyttleton was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1955. His application citation read: "Distinguished for his work in astronomy. Author of numerous papers on the origin and early history of the Solar System, notably his modifications of the collision theory. Showed from work of Cartan that fission of a planet by rotation would give two independent bodies, and consequently that the fission theory of binary stars is untenable (The Stability of Rotating Liquid Masses, 1953). Author (with F. Hoyle) of numerous papers on the astronomical effects of accretion, and (with H. Bondi) of two on the transmission of the tidal friction couple to the Earth's core and on the behaviour of the core during precessions. Author of a striking new theory of comets. (The Comets and their Origin, 1953). He won the Royal Society Royal Medal in 1965 "In recognition of his distinguished contributions to astronomy, particularly for his work on the dynamical stability of galaxies.".

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Originally published in 1953, this book first sets out some observational facts about comets, then the greater part of the book accounts for their origin and explains how comet tails are formed. The text contains 34 photographs of celebrated comets, including eight of Halley's comet. A comet index is also provided. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the development of astronomy and the history of science.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Raymond Arthur Lyttleton (1911-95) was a British astronomer who won the Royal Society Royal Medal in 1965 for significant contributions to his field. In this book, which was first published in 1953, Lyttleton presents an account of advances in relation to a classical problem of mathematical astronomy. The text is mainly concerned with those parts of the theory most directly involved in determining the evolution of gravitating liquid masses. The important conclusion is reached that the dynamical evidence is against the so-called 'fission process' of binary system formation. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in astronomy and the history of science.
