Dawn
Dawn is the time that marks the beginning of twilight before sunrise. It is recognized by the diffuse sky radiation, appearance of indirect sunlight being Rayleigh scattering, scattered in Earth's atmosphere, when the centre of the Sun's disc has reached 18° below the observer's horizon. This morning twilight period will last until sunrise (when the Sun's upper limb breaks the horizon), when daylight, direct sunlight outshines the light scattering by particles, diffused light. Etymology "Dawn" derives from the Old English verb , "to become day". Types of dawn Dawn begins with the first sight of lightness in the morning, and continues until the Sun breaks the horizon. The morning twilight is divided in three phases, which are determined by the angular distance of the centre of the Sun (degree (angle), degrees below the horizon) in the morning. These are astronomical, nautical and civil twilight. Astronomical dawn Astronomical dawn begins when the center of the Sun is 18 d ...

French Corvette Aurore (1767)
''Aurore'' was a corvette or Snow (ship), snow, designed by Nicolas Ozanne. Built privately on the personal funds of François-César Le Tellier de Courtanvaux, she was commissioned by the French Navy and used for scientific purposes. She performed the History of longitude, first measurement of longitude using Marine chronometer. Background During the 18th century, measure of longitude was performed by comparing the solar time of the ship with that of a know point, the difference in time being in relation with displacement on the globe. In practice, this was achieved by keeping the time of the latest point of departure by mean of hourglasses, and by tracking the moment the sun was seen at its zenith. However, hourglasses had a poor precision because they needed to be turned by hand at exact intervals, because sand tended aggregate due to humidity, and because its flow eroded the thin section of the bulb, accelerating the flow. Mechanical clocks were seen as the logical next s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
