Measuring the Universe: Cosmic Dimensions from Aristarchus to Halley Paperback - 1986
by Albert Van Helden
First line
The recent Pioneer and Voyager missions to Jupiter and Saturn have once again demonstrated in spectacular fashion what impact a new technology can have on the body of scientific knowledge.
From the rear cover
'By concentrating on a single question, 'How did the dimensions of our universe appear to us at different epochs of history?' Albert Van Helden has managed to trace a complex story through more than two millennia and endow it with excitement and new insights. 'Measuring the Universe'...reads like a detective story, because the very best astronomers are detectives of the highest rank. --Martin Harwit, Sky and Telescope
