Chambers is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an informative exploration of the components and structure of our solar system, focusing particularly on the Sun and the planets that orbit it. The book is aimed at a general audience, seeking to make the wonders of astronomy accessible to those interested in understanding the cosmic bodies that surround Earth. At the start of the book, Chambers introduces the concept of the "Solar System," defining the Sun as the central figure around which planets and comets revolve. He clarifies the distinctions between primary and secondary planets, major and minor planets, and discusses the regularities in planetary movements. Chambers emphasizes observational astronomy, encouraging readers to use small telescopes to explore and appreciate celestial phenomena, setting a practical tone for the remainder of the book that promises observable details about the Sun and the planets.
