First Telescopic Observations of Eclipses and Occultations
JOA 2020, Vol. 10, No. 4, Page 14 Author(s): Marek ZawilskiAbstract: At the beginning of the 17th century, the invention of the telescope created the conditions for more accurate observations of eclipses and occultations. Starting from 1610,astronomers successively collected the results of these observations, which allowed, inter alia, to improve the theory of the motion of the Moon. Some of them are still of scientific importance today.
