AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Charming illustrated edition of this popular science work dedicated to diffuse celestial objects and the large observable structures of the universe at the end of the 19th century.

Guillemin, a renowned popularizer of science, compiles contemporary knowledge about the nature of nebulae, their classification, shapes, and sizes, based on observations by great astronomers and advances in optical instruments.

The work describes planetary, spiral, and irregular nebulae, linking them to questions of stellar formation and cosmic structure, while emphasizing the still uncertain hypotheses of the time.
