‎Evidence for X Rays from Sources Outside the Solar System. - [THE DISCOVERY OF COSMIC X-RAY SOURCES.]‎

‎(New York), American physical Society, 1962. Lex8vo. Volume 9, No. 11, December 1, 1962 of ""Physical Review Letters"", In the original printed blue wrappers. A very nice and clean copy externally as well as internally, near mint. Pp. 439-443. [Entire issue: 439-477].‎

‎First printing of Giocconi's seminal paper in which the discovery of cosmic x-ray sources is presented for the first time, thereby documenting the first observation of an x-ray source outside the Solar System. The x-ray detector was launched on a rocket to look for x-ray emissions from the Moon" instead they found a bright source of soft x-rays in the constellation Scorpius. This source, now known as Scorpius X-1, is the brightest x-ray source in the sky after the Sun. It has since been identified as a neutron star in a binary-star system some 9,000 light years away.The discovery had immense consequences for cosmology, since Hoyle's Hot Universe continuous creation theory could not account for this emission. Riccardo Giacconi received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2002 for his discovery. ‎

‎On the Tidal Friction of a Planet attended by several Satellites, and on the Evolution of the Solar System. Received December 27, 1880, Read January 20, 1881.‎

‎(London, Harrison and Sons, 1881). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1881, Vol. 172 - Part II. Pp. 491-535 a. 3 plates.‎

‎First appearance of a classic paper on ""cosmological"" tidal friction and effects.""Following his accession to the Plumian chair Darwin delved even more deeply into the problems of the origin and evolution of the solar system, making numerous investigations of the figures of equilibrium of rotating masses of fluid and, later, making extensive studies of periodic orbits in the restricted problem of three bodies, carried out with special reference to cases obtaining for the particular values of mass ratio of the twofinite bodies of 1:10 and 1:1048 (the later approximating the mass ration of Jupiter to that of the sun).""(DSB III, p. 583).""Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems. That many of his conclusions are now out of date should in no way diminish the historical interest in his experiments, nor the importent service thet he rendered cosmogony by the example he gave of putting various hypotheses to the test of actual calculations. Darwin's method remains a milestone in the development of cosmogony, and subsequent investigators have favored it over the merely qualitative arguments prevalent until that time.""(DSB III, p. 583).‎
