HOW CELESTIAL DISTANCES ARE DETERMINED, AND HOW THE SUN IS WEIGHED OBSERVATORY OF JUVISY, _November, 1903_.ĬONTENTS CHAPTER INTRODUCTION I. An Astronomy for Women can not be better placed than upon the table of a lady whose erudition is equal to her virtues, and who has consecrated her long career to the pursuit and service of the Beautiful, the Good, and the True. In this volume, Madame, I make another exception, and ask your permission to offer it to the first woman who consented to be enrolled in the list of members of the Astronomical Society of France, as foundress of this splendid work, from the very beginning of our vast association (1887) and who also desired to take part in the permanent organization of the Observatory at Juvisy, a task of private enterprise, emancipated from administrative routine.
