我强烈推荐 Alan Hirshfeld 写的这几本书 [1][2]。第一本讲的是视差（parallax）的发现，1838 年用来测定视差的仪器是由 Fraunhofer 制造的。完成这项测量所需的仪器精度简直不可思议——恒星因视差产生的位移，在一段时期内…
I highly recommend these books by Alan Hirshfeld [1][2]. The first is about the discovery of parallax, and the instrument that was used to do this in 1838 was built by Fraunhofer. The precision of the instrument required to do this is incredible - the movement of a star due to parallax is, over the course…
Alan Hirshfeld 写的《Parallax》是本好书，梳理了人们为寻找地球自转证据所做出的种种努力，最终以发现最近恒星的视差证据告终。另外值得一读的还有《Book that Nobody…》
Parallax by Alan Hirshfeld is a good book which tracks various efforts to find the evidence for the rotation of earth culminating in evidence of parallax of nearest stars. Also of interest is Book that Nobody…
