CHER. ABBE MOREUX'S OBSERVATORY IN BOURGES: Abbé Théophile M - Lot 483
CHER. ABBE MOREUX'S OBSERVATORY IN BOURGES: Abbé Théophile MOREUX [Argent-sur-Sauldre / Cher 1867 - 1954] A true scientist, astronomer, meteorologist, photographer, mathematician and geographer. Ordained a priest in BOURGES in 1891, he was a teacher at Saint-Célestin, while carrying out his scholarly research - the main part of his work was on the sun. He had an original observatory built in BOURGES, in the Moorish style, in 1909 - Autograph manuscript signed "Abbé Th. MOREUX Director of the Observatory of BOURGES", 4 pages large in-8, of an article which was used for printing (many indications of layout), entitled "The problem of rain and floods." Numerous observations and studies of meteorological facts. Presentations of data and reports from scientists - Reprint of notes from his book "The Solar Problem." One of his conclusions is that "the key to our meteorology lies, without a doubt, in the study of the sun. This conclusion, which I have held for twenty years and which threatens to become my delenda est Carthago, I will maintain in spite of all the meteorologists of the Earth. It is in the fluctuation of the activity of the star "to the rays of which our globe is suspended" that one must seek the secret of the apparent vicissitudes of our climate".
