    by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1986. Today, beyond the Milky Way. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. T he year is 1902: America's leading astronomer, Simon Newcomb, asks us to imagine leaving Earth and traveling outward at the speed of light for a hundred thousand years. Once we've made this impossible voyage, what do we see? Only inky black emptiness! But, when we turn around, we see a large fuzzy cloud of light. The home we left, our galaxy, is the whole of the Milky Way. Newcomb's universe is infinite empty space occupied only by that enormous cloud of stars. Although he doesn't use the word galaxy, it's been in our language for a long time. It was another word for the Milky Way. Chaucer uses the word galaxy. And Milton wrote: ... Seen in the Galaxy, that milky way
    Which nightly as a circling zone thou seest
    Powder'd with stars.

    amer. astronóm. Zostavil ve¾mi presné tabu¾ky polôh Slnka a planét (uverejnené v Nautical Almanac ), kt. sa používali až do polovice 20. stor.; nahradili ich až presnejšie výsledky poèítaèov. Spresnil aj výpoèty pohybu Mesiaca, dokázal, že asteroidy nevznikli rozpadom jediného telesa. Roku 1896 zvolal do Paríža medzinárodnú konferenciu astronómov z Európy a USA, na kt. boli prijaté štandardné hodnoty astron. konštánt, založené na N. prácach. Heslá v Slovníku použitých výrazov sú prebraté z Encyklopédie astronómie (Obzor, 1987), na ktorej elektronickú podobu má výhradné práva Slovenský zväz astronómov amatérov . Od vydania encyklopédie sa však niektoré heslá a údaje v nich obsiahnuté vïaka prudkému rozvoju astronómie mohli mierne zmeni èi upravi. Ich vecná správnos však zostala zachovaná. © SZAA, 2000-2004
