Rangarira ndima iri pasi apa uye ipapo pindura mubvunzo gare gare mumutauro mumwe chetewo sechikamu:  Nzira yokufamba nayo: Nzvimbo dzokucherechedza dzakanga dzakavakwa kuchamhembe nokumaodzanyemba kwegomo racho, pamwe chete nenzvimbo yokuchengetera midziyo uye masayendisiti. Zvisinei, vashandi vakawanda vaigara mumatende asina kugadzirwa zvakanaka. Kuyera kwomuchadenga kwaMaskelyne ndiko kwakatanga kuitwa. Zvakanga zvakafanira kuti iye asarudze madaro epamusoro-soro pamusoro pomutsetse wepombi nokuda kweboka renyeredzi panguva chaiyo apo imwe neimwe yakapfuura yakananga kumaodzanyemba. Mamiriro okunze aiwanzova asina kunaka nemhaka yemhute nemvura. Zvisinei, achibva kunzvimbo yokucherechedza yokumaodzanyemba, akakwanisa kuita zviyero 76 zvenyeredzi 34 mune imwe nhungamiro, uye ipapo kucherekedza 93 pane dzimwe nyeredzi 39 mune imwe. Ari kurutivi rwokuchamhembe, akabva aongorora nyeredzi 32 ka68 uye dzimwe nyeredzi 100 ka37. Nokuita nzendo dzokuyera ndege yenzvimbo yezenith yakatanga yakatarira kumabvazuva uye gare gare kumadokero, akabudirira kudzivisa zvikanganiso zvose zvakarongwa zvinobva pakuenzanisa nharaunda yacho. Kuti aone kutsauka kunokonzerwa negomo, zvakanga zvakafanira kufungisisa kukombama kwePasi: mucherechedzi achienda kuchamhembe kana kumaodzanyemba achaona kuchinja kwenzith yomunzvimbomo nekona yakafanana nokuchinja kupi nokupi mukureba. Mushure mokurangarira migumisiro yokucherechedza yakadai sokutenderera, kutsauka kwechiedza uye nutation, Maskelyne akaratidza kuti musiyano pakati pe zenith yakatarwa munharaunda yevatariri kuchamhembe nekumaodzanyemba kweSchiehallion yaiva 54.6 arc seconds. Kamwe chikwata chekuongorora chakanga chapa musiyano we42.94 ′′ latitude pakati pezviteshi zviviri, akakwanisa kubvisa izvi, uye mushure mekupoterera kune chokwadi chekucherechedza kwake, akazivisa kuti huwandu hwekuchamhembe nekumaodzanyemba kutsauka kwaive 11.6 ′′.Maskelyne akaburitsa mhedzisiro yake yekutanga muPhilosophical Transactions yeRoyal Society muna 1775, achishandisa dhata yekutanga pachimiro chegomo uye nekudaro nzvimbo yenzvimbo yaro yekukweva. Izvi zvakamutungamirira kuti atarisire kutsauka kwe20.9′′ kana kuwanda kwepakati kweSchiehallion nePasi kwakanga kwakaenzana. Sezvo kutsauka kwacho kwakanga kuri inenge hafu yeiyi, akakwanisa kuita chiziviso chokutanga...  Mubvunzo: Nzvimbo yokutarira nyeredzi yakavakirwa kupi?
