| Popis: | U radu je dan povijesni prikaz nastanka astronomske točke Novi Vinodol koja je sačuvana do danas kao trigonometar 2. reda. Riječ je o krajnjoj točki lanca trokuta koji je bio postavljen početkom 20. stoljeća za određivanje srednje paralele, tj. paralele kojoj odgovara geografska širina 45º. Geodetske i astronomske radove osmislio je i vodio general Stevan P. Bošković (1868–1957), ravnatelj Vojnogeografskog instituta u Beogradu. The paper gives a historical account of how the Novi Vinodol astronomic point was created – a point which has been maintained until the present day as a second class trigonometric point. It is the end point of a chain of triangles set up in the early 20th century to establish the halfway parallel, i.e. the parallel corresponding to 45° latitude. The geometric and astronomic works were conceived and led by General Stevan P. Bošković, Director of the Military-Geographic Institute in Belgrade. |
