Selected by 50 notable astronomers from the major sub-fields of the
discipline, the articles assembled in this special AAS Centennial
collection are accompanied by commentary that provides the
scientific-historical context essential to comprehending each
article's original impact. Many commentators were contemporaries of
the original authors and provide first-person accounts of papers
published in the journals--and the earliest reactions they evoked.
Arranged in chronological order of publication, these classic
papers include works by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, George E. Hale,
Fred Hoyle, Edwin Hubble, A.A. Michelson, Henry Norris Russell,
Arthur Achuster, Harlow Shapley, and others. Together the articles
and commentaries provide a historical window into twentieth-century
astronomy and how the results were achieved.
