Product information
UNIVERSITY OF CAPETOWN / A.A. BALKEMA, 1983
Hard cover. 144 pages. Very good condition. Under 1kg.
Not many people can or could boast of having a crater on the moon named after them. Charles Piazzi Smyth would have been one of them. He was Astronomer Royal for Scotland and worked, under tough financial conditions, in the now iconic Observatory on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. His early years in Cape Town made him hungry for astronomical research and clearer skies for observation.
