In a long paper published in 1795 he mentions some of them before his own observations.In 1801 in a second long paper the paper offered here in which he arranged his observations according to relevant physical questions he modified his earlier account of the sun to include in its constitution an interior layer of dark clouds not unlike our own this layer serving to shield the solar inhabitants from the exterior luminous layer. </em> unknown

At the same time it was translated into English and publishe as "On the Fraunhofer Lines Visible in the Solar Spectrum".Ångström was one of the early formulators of the science of modern spectroscopy; he wrote extensively on terrestrial magnetism the conduction of heat and especially spectroscopy. He published a monumental map of the normal solar spectrum that expressed the length of light waves in units of one ten-millionth of a millimeter a unit of length now known as the angstrom. He discovered that hydrogen is present in the sun's atmosphere and he was the first to examine the spectrum of the aurora borealis. </em> unknown

Janssen's memoir: pp. 414-426. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this milestone paper in chemistry physics and astronomy announcing the discovery of the helium lines in the spectrum of the sun. It was Lockyer in the same year that named it 'helium' for Helios the Greek God of the Sun. Helium was not discovered on the earth before 1895 by William Ramsay and it was Crookes who established its identity with the helium Janssen and Lockyer observed in the spectrum of the sun."He Janssen met immortality by travelling to India in 1868 to study the total eclipse. It was then that he observed the helium line and forwarded the spectral data to ockyer. He also noted the size of the solar prominences. The day after the eclipse he attempted to take their spectra again and succeeded despite the absence of the obscuring moon. he then announced jubilantly that it was the day after the eclipse that was the real eclipse day for him. Lockyer also reported this method of studying prominences without an eclipse.Like Lockyer he lived to see his observation of the helium line vindicated by Ramsay's discovery of that element on earth."Asimov."This the discovery of helium lines in the sun by Lockyer was announced on the same day by the French astronomer Janssen who was in India observing a total eclipse. As a result the French government some ten years later struck a medallion showing the heads of both scientists.By that time the two men had made a much more dramatic discovery at the same time this time in cooperation. Janssen studying the spectrum ofthe sun during the eclipse had noted a fine line he did not recognize. he send a report on this to Lockyer an acknowledges expert on solar spectra. Lockyer compared the reported position of the line with lines of known elements concluding that it must belong to a yeat unknown element possibly not even existing on the earth. He named the element from the Greek word for the sun."Asimov.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1868 A. - The volume contains other notable papers by Dumas Berthelot et al. </em> hardcover
183253547Philadelphia: Carey & Lea 1832. Near fine. First US edition of Austen's third published novel - in a stunning fine art binding by the acclaimed Argentinian design bookbinder Sol Rébora. Morally upright Fanny gets pulled into a neighbor's scheming via an adaptation of Elizabeth Inchbald's well-known play LOVERS' VOWS. Among Austen's works MANSFIELD PARK especially demonstrates how careful contrasts of characters and plot twists can bring out subtle ironies. First published in 1814 in three volumes this is the first edition to appear in the United States published in two volumes by Carey & Lea in an edition of only 1250 copies. <br /> <br /> Sol Rébora is an internationally recognized design bookbinder based in Buenos Aires. Her works embody a minimalistic elegance that is nevertheless subtly complex as in the carefully structured multiple layers used here. They are not only visually stunning but supremely tactile. From Rèbora's artist statement: "The cloth texture is achieved using silk with a patterned design that evokes the aesthetic of the time period in which the original edition was produced creating a visual connection with antique paper. This design also appeals to the collective memory of how custom bindings from the early 19th century might have appeared complete with deep-relief hot-stamping impressions." A magnificent unique copy of an Austen first. Two 12mo volumes 6.75'' x 4.25'' each. Modern full pink design binding by Sol Rébora in Can Can structure with one layer of cotton cloth and two layers of Japanese paper each element hand-painted with acrylics and textured with a patterned design impressed with deep-relief hot-stamping from silk; spines and boards stamped in dark grey.
