Presented at the 24th Regional Conference on the History and Philosophy of Science, Boulder, CO (10/12/08). This paper has been withdrawn because subsequent research has indicated that several points in this text required significant clarification. It is superseded with a greatly expanded version by the same author, also available on arXiv
The scope of this paper is to discuss the major works that appeared in the period of 1904 to 1913: atomic models proposed by Thomson and Hantaro Nagaoka (1904), Rutherford (1911), and Bohr (1913), and the experimental work that motivated them. It will be seen that, although all of the models discussed here were later shown to be incorrect or incomplete, each one represented an essential step towards an understanding of the nature of matter, a view of the physical world often taken for granted a century down the road.
No evidence for an early seventeenth-century Indian sighting of Keplers supernova (SN1604)
在最近的一篇论文中，Sule et al.（Astronomical Notes，vol. 332（2011），655）认为，17世纪早期印度的一幅带有龙头尾巴的人马座壁画表明，印度天文学家也看到了1604年的明亮超新星。在本文中，它将表明，这种识别是基于传统的伊斯兰占星术图像的误解，并声称壁画代表了17世纪早期的印度目击超新星的1604年必须被拒绝。
A calendar Quipu of the early 17th century and its relationship with the Inca astronomy
所谓的Miccinelli文件是一套由耶稣会学者在17世纪上半叶在秘鲁撰写的文件。在这些文献中，有一份描述了Quipu，即一种由不同性质和颜色的绳子制成的设备，在节点的帮助下，印加人用来存储数据。作者布拉斯·瓦勒拉（Blas Valera）声称，这份《Quipu》是西班牙征服那一年的印加日历的复制品。我们在这里给出了一个完整的分析发生在库斯科的天文事件，在这一年，表明他们实际上对应的数据密切相关的Quipu报告，并比较了天文信息-如名称和仪式的每个月-与其他文件，特别是Nuova Coronica由G。Poma de Ayala.可能的相关性文件的知识，原来的印加传说的天空进行了详细讨论。
