| Title | Calculate the Orbit of Mars! : An Observing Challenge and Historical Adventure |
| Author(s) | Clark, Jane |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XIII, 316 p. 153 illus., 93 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book shows readers how to calculate the orbit of Mars, based on their own observations and using observations made by the author. The historical, observational, and analytical aspects of the project to measure the orbit of Mars are all combined in this one book! Determining the orbit of Mars is particularly important, as originally solving this problem required the founding of modern science. Clark discusses how people came to believe in the Newtonian model of the Solar System, works through the mathematical basis for the theory of gravity, and shows how Newton ruled out the possibility of alternative theories. Readers also learn how it became possible to accurately measure the positions of Mars from a moving, spinning platform???the Earth. This mid-level observational challenge is well within reach of most serious amateur astronomers. For the observations, only a telescope with auto-guiding capability and the ability to mount a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera is required. For the calculations, it is assumed that the reader has a science, engineering, or mathematics background and is familiar with calculus, vectors, and trigonometry |

| Title | Viewing and Imaging the Solar System : A Guide for Amateur Astronomers |
| Author(s) | Clark, Jane |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2015. |
| Description | XIII, 256 p. 160 illus., 74 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Viewing??and Imaging the Solar System: A??Guide for Amateur Astronomers is for those who want to develop their ability to observe and image Solar System objects, including the planets and moons, the Sun, and comets and asteroids. They might be beginners, or they may have already owned and used an astronomical telescope for a year or more. Newcomers are almost always wowed by sights such as the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter, but have little idea how to find these objects for themselves (with the obvious exceptions of the Sun and Moon). They also need guidance about what equipment to use, besides a telescope. This book is written by an expert on the Solar System, who has had a lot of experience with outreach programs, which teach others how to make the most of relatively simple and low-cost equipment. That does not mean that this book is not for serious amateurs. On the contrary, it is designed to show amateur astronomers, in a relatively light-hearted???and math-free way???how to become serious |
