What reading level is The Elements of Descriptive Astronomy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, there is a fairly regular increase in the width of these gaps. But the distance between Mars and Jupiter is unusually wide ; and for a long time it was thought to be highly probable that another planet existed in this space, although no one had been able to detect it.
On January 1, 1801, Piazzi, a Sicilian astronomer, dis- covered a planet in this gap. This planet, named Ceres, is a very small body, for its diameter is less than 500 miles. Its discovery was followed by that of another... in the following year. Many others have been observed since ; and it is now known that the space between Mars and Jupiter contains more than 1, 000 of these bodies, which are known as the Asteroids. Of these bodies Ceres is the largest, and many of them are only a few miles in diameter.
To the amateur astronomer the Asteroids are of little interest. Some people suppose that they are the result of some catastrophe in the heavens, such as the explosion of a planet, or even the collision of two planets.
