Title | Unpublished appendix, regarding 'The principal cause of the large errors at present existing between the positions of the Moon deduced from Hansen's Tables and observation: and the cause of an apparent increase in the secular acceleration of the Moon's mean motion required by Hansen's Tables, or of an apparent change in the time of the Earths rotation' by Edward James Stone |
Date | [April 1883] |
Description | Stone writes that 'The breaks of continuity in our measures of time which have, necessarily, taken place with the adoption of different units through the introduction of small changes in the Sun's mean motion, and in the secular terms which express the relative motions of the planes of reference is clearly shown as follows', accompanied by a geometrical diagram of several intersecting curved lines.
