About This Book

De tekst geeft een toegankelijke uiteenzetting van de sterrenkunde, van waarnemingen van dag- en nachtritmes, jaargetijden en kalender tot de vorm en bewegingen van aarde, maan en planeten. Historische wereldbeelden en de overgang van geocentrische naar heliocentrische ideeën worden besproken, evenals ontdekkingen met het verrekijker en de wetten van beweging. Aantrekkingskracht, val en cirkelbewegingen, verklaring van maanbewegingen, getijden en de aardse atmosfeer komen aan bod, samen met methoden en bewijzen voor de draaiing en grootte van de aarde. Wetenschappelijke begrippen worden verklaard in hun waarnemingskundige en historische context.
