And, although the ephemerides of the inner planets are very well known, most likely due to accurate radar measurements in part, this is the first time that such precision is possible for an outer planet. ❋ Nicole (2009)
We have him to thank for ephemerides, those great tables of computed places of celestial bodies over long periods of time. ❋ Unknown (2010)
I suspect the ancient Greeks set it up this way because it made astrology amenable to mathematical analysis and easier to construct ephemerides. ❋ Unknown (2010)
This in turn led to a moderate increase in the accuracy of calendars and astronomical tables, or ephemerides, then commonly used by astrologers to cast horoscopes and by sailors for navigational purposes. ❋ David (2005)
It is well known that everything is miraculous in the history of the Jews; the miracle performed in favor of King Hezekiah on the dial of Ahaz is one of the greatest that ever took place: it is evident that the whole earth must have been deranged, the course of the stars changed forever, and the periods of the eclipses of the sun and moon so altered as to confuse all the ephemerides. ❋ Unknown (2007)
[3369] Garcaeus, dabimus hoc petulantibus ingeniis, we will in some cases allow: or let him make an ephemerides, read Suisset the calculator's works, ❋ Unknown (2007)
* I feel not in me those sordid and unchristian desires of my profession; I do not secretly implore and wish for plagues, rejoice at famines, revolve ephemerides and almanacks in expectation of malignant aspects, fatal conjunctions, and eclipses. ❋ Unknown (2007)
For the accuracy, I am depending on the ephemerides.com site sponsored by JPL. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The evil of the time is the multiplication of ephemerides. ❋ Unknown (2003)
They may have looked at Kaiev's ephemerides and figured it out. ❋ Diane Duane (2000)
Galactic coordinates and the nearest Cepheid-wariable tag beacons are in the ephemerides listed to your screens. ❋ Diane Duane (2000)
I did bring full ephemerides with me, and a sort program and astrological database I developed with the Hartford PD on diskette. ❋ Lackey, Mercedes (1989)
Valuable as our grays are to us, they are ephemerides-here and gone in a brief flash of vitality. ❋ May, Julian, 1931- (1981)
Probably you gentlemen think of the Naval Observatory as being exclusively preoccupied with ephemerides and tide tables. ❋ Heinlein, Robert A. (1966)
During the last few years Mr. Marth has published ephemerides of the satellites of both Saturn and Uranus, and many amateurs have to acknowledge the valuable aid rendered by these tables, which supply a ready means of identifying the satellites, and thus act as an incentive to observers who are induced to pursue such work for the sake of the interesting comparisons to be made afterward. ❋ Various (N/A)
Ptolemaic system known, to the designing and constructing of exact instruments, to the multiplying of observations, and the preparing of tables and almanacs (ephemerides), more accurate than those used by astronomers up to that time, that Purbach and Regiomontanus devoted their prodigious energy. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
They were perfectly effectual for the purpose chiefly in view, which was the preparation of yearly ephemerides announcing expected celestial events, and tracing in advance the paths of the heavenly bodies. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
The computation of their perturbations and ephemerides by ❋ George Forbes (1892)
Men were nothings, mere animalculae, mere ephemerides that fluttered and fell and were forgotten between dawn and dusk. ❋ Frank Norris (1886)
