Part 2 - MYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE, A HANDBOOK OF ASTRONOMICAL ANOMALIES


Or: Who was Who in the not so recent golden era of telescopic moon observing and lunar sciences

Part 1 (review of the book and additional alphabetic index of authors of the many scientific articles in it).

This extremely interesting book (compiled by William R. Corliss, the Sourcebook Project, 1979) contains hundreds of articles from the scientific literature and astronomy related magazines, but... the alphabetic index on the last pages shows no names of the many mentioned persons. This means: WORK TO DO!
In december 2014 the creator of this online page (- DannyCaes Dec 20, 2014) decided to explore every one of the 701 printed pages (of the book) to detect the hidden names, and to create an alphabetic index of them. The very first bits and pieces of this new alphabetic index (only the names in articles about the MOON, pages 158 to 265) should be online during the last days of december 2014 and the first days of january 2015...
Note: the diversity of persons in this book is an astonishing fact. Not only well-known and less-known scientists, also casual unknown observers of celestial phenomena are included in it. I see it as a task to pull these less-known and unknown people out of oblivion, and to create an online alphabetic index for them.
Note:
The general alphabetic index of all the names mentioned in the articles of Mysterious Universe is (or should be) online in Part 4. It is not known when this general index shall be complete. I hope somewhere within the year 2015...

I am not a scientist, I'm just a harbour labourer, but... as long as there's that strange little energetic fire inside of me, I shall create alphabetic lists and gazetteers of scientists and observers of the sky! (read: the compulsion to explore and to investigate scientific astronomy-related books).
And when that little fire is out of fuel (because of indifference or the lack of inspiration), I see no reason to live or to work on this planet... Let's hope there will always be lots of inspiration to keep that strange little fire burning!
