ASTRONOMICAL PHENOMENA




The main phenomena the predictions of which are regularly made in astronomy are as follows. You will fond in these pages detailed explanations on these phenomena and on the methods of calculation: 

- Rises and sets
- Phases of the Moon
- Principle of the occultations and eclipses
- Eclipses of the Moon
- Eclipses of the Sun
- Transits of Mercury and Venus in front of the Sun
- Phenomena of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter
- Rising and setting of stars, heliacal rising
- Oppositions, conjunctions, quadrature and elongations
- Meteoritic swarms (shooting stars)
