Clipart images of astronomy, including tools and instrumentation, as well as numerous stars and constellations that can be seen in the night sky.

Earth, suns
"Were the Earth's orbit a perfect circle, and her axis perpendicular to the plane of this orbit, the days would be of a uniform length, and there would be no difference between the clock and the Sun....

Eclipse
"An Eclipse is an interception or obscuration of the light of the sun, moon, or other heavenly body by the intervention of another and non-luminous heavenly body or by its shadow."—(Charles Leon...

Eclipse of the Sun
Annular eclipse of the Sun. S=Sun, E=Earth, M=Moon...

Elliptical Orbit
"The elliptical circle being supposed to be the Earth's orbit, with the Sun, S, in one of the foci. Now the spaces, 1, 2, 3, etc., though of different shapes, are of the same dimensions, or contain t...

Equinox, Spring and Autumn
"Relative positions of the earth and the sun on March 21 (spring equinox) and September 21 (autumn equinox) as seen from the position occupied by the earth on June 21 (summer solstice). Rays of light ...

Eridanus
"The ancient southern constellation of the River (Po or Padus)." -Whitney, 1911...

Gemini
"The third sign of the zodiac, so named from its 2 brightest stars, Castor, of the 1st magnitude, farthest to the west, and Pollux of the 2d, farthest to the east. Its constitutent stars form a binar...

Gemini
"A zodiacal constellation, giving its name to a sign of the zodiac, lying east of Taurus, on the other side of the Milky Way." -Whitney, 1911...

Great Circle
A Great Circle is one which would be formed on the earth's surface by a plane passing through the earth's centre, hence dividing it into two equal parts. All great circles, therefore, divide the earth...

Gyroscope
"The Gyroscope is an instrument constructed by M. Foucault to make the rotation of the earth visible. The principle on which it proceeds is this– that, unless gravity intervene, a rotating body ...

Heliometer
"Dollond's divided object-glass heliometer of the third type. A is the end of the reflecting telescope, upon which the adapter B is fitted. B carries a wheel (not seen in the figure) formed of a rin...

Heliometer
"No part of the equatorial mounting is shown in the figure, as it resembles every respect that usual Fraunhofer mounting. An adapted h is fixed on a telescope-tube, made of wood, in Fraunhofer's usua...

Heliometer
"The type of instrument which resulted from Russian labors. The brass tube, strengthened at the bearing points by a strong truly-turned collars, rotates in the cast-iron cradle g attached to the decl...

Hercules
Constellation: Hercules...

Jackstaff
An instrument which could more readily adapt itself to the swaying of the observer's body in a sea-way, soon displaced in good measure the astrolabe on shipboard. It in several ways modified forms fo...

Longitude
"Let this figure represent the Earth, N being the north pole, S the south pole, and E W the equator. The lines 10, 20, 30, and so on, are the parallels of latitude, and the lines N a S, N b S, etc., ...

Lunar Tide
If the earth were uniformly covered with a layer of water, the passage of the moon over any place as at a, would cause the water to lose its globular form, become bulged at a, and b

Man with the Serpent
Constellation: Man with the Serpent...

Meridians and Parallels
The Meridian of any given place is that half of the meridian circle which passes through that place and both poles. A meridian of any place reaches from that place to both poles, and therefore is equa...

Moon
The satellite of the earth, and classed as one of the secondary planets. It revolves around the earth in an almost circular orbit once each sidereal month, at a mean distance of 238,818 miles....
