Description

COSMOS, ESSAI D'UNE DESCRIPTION PHYSIQUE DU MONDE (TOME III)Ce troisième volume de l'œuvre monumentale d'Alexandre de Humboldt propose une analyse exhaustive et objective des connaissances astronomiques de la moitié du XIXe siècle. S'inscrivant dans le projet global de l'auteur de peindre une image vivante de la nature, ce tome descend des espaces célestes les plus lointains vers une compréhension physique de l'univers.L'ouvrage s'ouvre par une Partie Uranologique détaillant les observations et la nature de la matière cosmique. Humboldt y examine les théories sur l'éther et la résistance du fluide cosmique, s'appuyant notamment sur les observations de la comète d'Encke. Il retrace l'histoire des instruments d'optique, soulignant comment l'invention du télescope par Galilée et ses successeurs a permis aux savants de dépasser les limites de l'œil nu et de pénétrer profondément dans l'espace.Une section fondamentale est consacrée à la lumière stellaire. L'auteur y compile les données sur la scintillation, la vitesse de la lumière - mesurée par Rœmer, Bradley, puis affinée par Struve et Fizeau - ainsi que les recherches photométriques sur l'intensité des étoiles. S'appuyant sur les travaux de Ptolémée, Tycho Brahé et les jauges de William et John Herschel, Humboldt analyse la classification des étoiles par grandeur et leur distribution. Ces études révèlent la structure complexe et irrégulière de la Voie lactée, composée de strates stellaires et d'amas globulaires.L'auteur accorde une importance particulière à la variabilité des astres, distinguant trois catégories : les étoiles nouvelles (comme celles de 1572 et 1604), les étoiles périodiquement variables (telles que Mira Ceti et Algol) et les variations irrégulières. L'analyse précise d'Argelander sur les périodes de variabilité est présentée avec des tableaux chiffrés. Humboldt émet également l'hypothèse que les fluctuations de l'éclat solaire ont pu avoir, par le passé, des conséquences géologiques et climati
