Synopsis of Venus in Transit

En este fascinante relato, Eli Maor narra la historia de los tránsitos de Venus a través del Sol, centrándose en los eventos observados a lo largo de los siglos y su importancia crucial para determinar la unidad astronómica. El libro combina el rigor científico con una narrativa cautivadora que revive las expediciones de astrónomos históricos, sus triunfos y sus tragedias personales frente a los cambios geopolíticos de su tiempo. La obra sirve como una guía histórica y científica preparada para los tránsitos de 2004 y 2012, explorando desde las leyes de Kepler hasta los esfuerzos internacionales de observación del siglo XVIII. Es una lectura esencial para entusiastas de la astronomía y la historia de la ciencia, que ofrece una perspectiva única sobre un fenómeno celestial que no volverá a repetirse hasta el año 2117.
