"Very well then," said Lennard, taking an envelope from the breast-pocket of his coat, and putting it down on the table before the Emperor. "If your Majesty has not time to look through those papers, you will perhaps send them to Berlin and take your own astronomer's report upon them.
To this same year of decay and decline belongs a small slip of yellow paper, inscribed with the following lines in a tremulous and feeble handwriting, which is jealously preserved by the illustrious astronomer's descendants: "LINA, There is a great comet. I want you to assist me. Come to dine, and spend the day here.
Among the psychological phenomena I have witnessed, none has appeared to me more curious than a susceptibility of certain minds to become imbued with a violent antipathy to the theory of gravitation. The anti-gravitation crank, as he is commonly called, is a regular part of the astronomer's experience.
As subsequent favorable oppositions of Mars occurred, other observers began to see the ``canals'' and to confirm the substantial accuracy of the Italian astronomer's work, and finally few were found who would venture to affirm that the ``canals'' did not exist, whatever their meaning might be.
There is a rude monument to him, a figure in armour, carved in relief, against one of the pillars near the altar; and over it is engraved the astronomer's motto, Esse quam haberi.
An astronomer is never laughed at for readin' his books o' geometry an' suchlike day an' night even to the injury of his health but what is an astronomer's business to him compared with the concerns of my soul to me?
This method of getting reaction times has been in use for a number of years, especially by the astronomers who need to know, in making their observations, how much time is taken by the observer in recording a transit or other observation. It is part of the astronomer's "personal equation."
Since then, it has become an elementary part of an astronomer's duty to study the idiosyncrasy of each one of the mechanical contrivances at his disposal, in order that its inevitable, but now certified deviations from ideal accuracy may be included amongst the numerous corrections by which the pure essence of even approximate truth is distilled from the rude impressions of sense.
His family had flourished for centuries, both in Sweden and in Denmark, where his descendants are to be met with at the present day. The astronomer's father was a privy councillor, and having filled important positions in the Danish government, he was ultimately promoted to be governor of Helsingborg Castle, where he spent the last years of his life.
The astronomer's science is one of vast magnitude and importance the study of it embracing both science and art: science in the various intricate calculations he requires to make in connection with the heavenly bodies.
