Summary: "Astronomy Explained Upon Sir Isaac Newton's Principles" by James Ferguson is a scientific publication written in the mid-18th century. This work delves into the principles of astronomy as established by Isaac Newton, making complex astronomical concepts accessible to those who lack a mathematical background. The book covers the solar system's structure, the nature of celestial bodies, and various astronomical phenomena, emphasizing the scientific significance and beauty of the universe. The beginning of the book introduces astronomy as the most sublime and useful of sciences, detailing its impact on human understanding and the vastness of the universe. Ferguson aims to convey not only the mechanics of celestial movements but also the grandeur of the cosmos, evoking a sense of wonder about the relationship between humanity and the divine.
