Babylon to Voyager and Beyond: A History of Planetary Astronomy by David Leverin

Description: Babylon to Voyager and Beyond by David Leverington Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The story of planetary research from ancient astronomers to current spacecraft missions. Publisher Description Babylon to Voyager and Beyond covers planetary research from the time of the Babylonians and Ancient Greeks through those of Kepler, Galileo and Newton to the modern era of space exploration. It outlines the key observational discoveries and theoretical developments in their historical context, covering not only the numerous successes but also the main failures. Planetary astronomy has come a long way since the Babylonians used their extensive numerical skills to predict the positions of the moon and planets. That progress is the story of this book, ending, as it does, with the considerable discoveries of the space age, and the discoveries of planets around other stars. This unique account will appeal to both amateur and professional astronomers, as well as those with an interest in the history of science. Author Biography David Leverington held a variety of senior positions in the space industry, and is now retired.
