Abstract

Abstract. At the beginning of the 19th century, meteor observations were not well established. One of its pioneers, who observed meteors on a regular basis, was Eduard Heis in Münster, Germany. We summarise the life of this scientist. Besides his main task of teaching mathematics in Aachen and Münster, he observed atmospheric phenomena and variable stars with exceptional perseverance. He was an editor of Wochenschrift für Astronomie and contributed to the circulation of astronomical reports and knowledge. We focus on his contributions to meteor astronomy, in which he predated the work of Schiaparelli by 30 years.

爱德华·海斯，流星研究的早期先驱

摘要在19世纪初，流星观测还没有很好地建立起来。其中一位定期观测流星的先驱者是德国米斯特的爱德华·海斯。我们来总结一下这位科学家的一生。除了他在亚琛和梅恩斯特教授数学的主要任务外，他还以非凡的毅力观察大气现象和变星。他是《天文学杂志》的编辑，为天文学报告和知识的传播做出了贡献。我们关注的是他对流星天文学的贡献，在这方面他比夏帕雷利早了30年。

期刊介绍： The scope of History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is to document historical facts and knowledge and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience. The knowledge of the development of geosciences and their experimental methods and theories in the past can improve our current understanding and may stimulate current research. It is encouraging for young scientists to read biographical material of historical figures in their research area. It is important as well to learn that history of science is an integrated part of the ongoing research in their research area. Another important aim of the journal is the association of historical retrospective and current research.
