Astrometry experienced a great era around 1800 and has now received fresh
impetus from the first precise satellite measurements of large celestial angles.
The book attempts to demonstrate the continuity of this branch of science
between the past, the present and the future.
In addition to historical topics it therefore covers
the combined use of old and new observations, the
results of the satellite Hipparcos and plans for
future astrometric satellites.
Texts mainly in English, partly in French or German.
