Bessel, The Distances Of The Stars And The Discovery Of The Stellar Planets is a book written by Sir Oliver Lodge. The book is about the German astronomer Friedrich Bessel, who is known for his contributions to the study of the distances of stars. Bessel was the first person to accurately measure the distance to a star using the technique of parallax. The book also discusses the discovery of the first extrasolar planets, which were found orbiting a pulsar in 1992. Lodge provides a detailed account of Bessel's life and work, as well as the history of the study of stellar distances. The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in astronomy and the history of science.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Pioneers of Science, by Sir Oliver Lodge.
