Summary
| Description |
English: Page 134 from the book Institutiones Astronomicae Geographicae by Adriaan Metius. This is the Latin translation printed in Amsterdam in 1624. The table is labeled in Latin; it translates to "Table indicating the longitude of three stars observed at different times." On another page of the book the author calculates that the full cycle of axial precession is 25,412 years based on these measurements.
Latina: "Tabula indicans longitud trium stellarum divsersis temporibus observatarum." Institutiones Astronomicae Geographicae, Adriani Metii, 1624. |
