Description

About The Book : "Myths and Marvels of Astronomy" by Richard A. Proctor is a classic astronomy studies/astronomy history text that's still part of the essential reading last of astronomy students around the world. The biggest charm of astronomy resides in the lore and legends connected with its history, the strange fancies with which in old times it has been associated, and the half-forgotten myths to which it has given birth. This book explores all of them in magical detail, bringing these stories to life. The chief charm of astronomy for many people does not reside in the wonders revealed to us by the science, but in the lore and legends connected with its history, the strange fancies with which in old times it has been associated, the half-forgotten myths to which it has given birth. In our own times also, astronomy has had its myths and fancies, its wild inventions, and startling paradoxes.
