French Geodetic Mission Ecuador Peru 1735

Image
Ada dua misi geodetik inisiatif French Academy of Science. Satu misi di Peru/Ecuador dan satu misi lagi di Lapland, lokasi nama Meanmaa. Petikan wikiwand - link : The  French Geodesic Mission to the Equator   also called the  French Geodesic Mission to Peru  and the  Spanish-French Geodesic Mission , was an 18th-century expedition to what is now Ecuador  carried out for the purpose of performing an arc measurement, measuring the length of a degree of latitude  near the Equator,  by which the Earth's radius  can be inferred. The mission was one of the first geodetic  (or  geodetic ) missions carried out under modern scientific principles, and the first major international scientific expedition. In the 18th century, there was significant debate in the scientific community, specifically in the French Academy of Sciences  ( Académie des sciences ), as to whether the circumference of the Earth was greater around the Equator or aroun...

Buku Measure of the Earth

Image
Sebuah lagi buku mengenai ekspedisi ahli geodesi Perancis untuk penentuan bentuk dan saiz bumi. Buku berjudul Measure of the Earth tulisan Larrie D Ferreiro diterbitkan pada tahun 2011. Pengarang menyebut tentang bukunya .... "The book is about the past, but they are the present and the future". Note: While Ferreiro makes the scientific goals of the expedition clear, many of the book’s descriptions of surveying and astronomical-observation techniques difficult to comprehend.
