306 ~ coming searches with the large FAST radio telescope (similar to the late Arecibo one but larger, with its 500-m diameter), which started in 2019.The program, which consists of looking at individual exoplanets near 1 GHz with a multibeam system, is described.I will stop here, and congratulate the HAPP Centre and IOP for making available for free to a large (I hope) community a variety of good and interesting papers

Reviews~ 224 ~ and financial decisions both reflect and influence what happens in research.Rather than cluttering the other chapters with such details (even though they are important), the reader is referred to the Appendix when finances play a role in the narrative.The book ends with a bit more than 95 pages of bibliography and a small-print index of somewhat more than 13 pages.Despite the scholarly nature of the book, it is an interesting and e…
For the Love of Mars
Pieter Zeeman (1865Zeeman ( -1943) ) repeated Fizeau's experiment in 1914, with far greater accuracy.He considered it "One of the most ingenious experiments of the whole domain of physics."(page87)

Tycho’s Conversation With Urania, and Other Engagements With the Muse
In his own poetry, Tycho Brahe took inspiration from ancient Roman poetry by appropriating ancient theology: the god Apollo and the Muse of Astronomy, Urania. In so doing, he framed himself as being in a unique position to reveal the secrets of the cosmos. This study offers the first comprehensive analysis in English of Tycho’s Elegy to Urania , and traces sources that have not previously been identified. The first 52 lines of his deeply personal…

Milton’s Paradise Lost
This article reveals that John Milton employed an allusion to the aurora borealis in book 6 (79–83) of Paradise Lost, unrecognized in more than three centuries of scholarly analysis. Two other likely allusions, and one certain, to the aurora have also been identified. This research casts doubt on the long-held belief, made popular by the astronomer Edmund Halley (1656–1742), that no notable aurora was visible in England in the seventeenth century…

Herschel's Spurious Moons of Uranus
Positing unobserved satellites and attempting to establish a mathematical framework to explain the orbits of planetary satellites was inspired by the law of planetary distances made popular by Johann Bode, Director of Berlin Observatory, although applying orbital proportionality to posit the existence of more satellites predates Bode's Law by nearly a century. Whatever its merits, Bode's Law has played an important role in the history of astronom…
'Dark Stars' and a New Interpretation of the Ancient Greek Stellar Magnitude System
The role of 'dark stars' in astronomy is examined. Ptolemy, in his Almagest , included 12 dark stars in his star catalogue, without offering any explanation of their meaning. Manuscripts in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Latin and Greek are examined to highlight and resolve conflicting statements about the star catalogue in the Almagest . Ptolemy's ivy leaf and the five dark stars associated with it is traced from its origin in an ancient Babylonian ta…

The Seven Sisters
A nineteenth century cantata inspired by the ancient Greek mythology of the Pleiades (Πλήίάδες) is analysed for the first time. While it was very much an expression of the Victorian culture of the United States, it also served as a vehicle to promote the Central Star hypothesis of the German astronomer Johann Heinrich von Maedler
