DEAR. L'OBSERVATOIRE DE L'ABBÉ MOREUX À BOURGES : Abbé Théop - Lot 572
DEAR. L'OBSERVATOIRE DE L'ABBÉ MOREUX À BOURGES : Abbé Théophile MOREUX [Argent-sur-Sauldre / Dear 1867 - 1954] A true scientist, at once astronomer, meteorologist, photographer, mathematician, geographer. Ordained a priest in BOURGES in 1891, he was a teacher in Saint-Célestin, while carrying out his scholarly research - Most of his work was about the sun. He had an original observatory built in BOURGES, in Moorish style in 1909 - Autograph manuscript signed "Abbé Th. MOREUX Directeur de l'Observatoire de BOURGES", 4 pages grand in-8, of an article that was used for printing (many layout indications), entitled "The problem of rain and floods.". Numerous observations and studies of meteorological facts. Presentations of data and reports by scientists - Reprints of his book "The Solar Problem". One of his conclusions is that "the key to our meteorology is undoubtedly to be found in the study of the sun. This conclusion, which I have supported for twenty years and which threatens to become my delenda est Carthago, I will maintain it in spite of all the meteorologists on Earth. It is in the fluctuation of the activity of the star "from whose rays our globe is suspended" that we must seek the secret of the apparent vicissitudes of our climate".
