Aplicação dos logaritmos na mediação de distâncias astronômicas

Abstract

The present research investigates the application of logarithms in astronomical distance measurements, emphasizing their significant role in simplifying scales of the universe. The research discusses the origins of logarithms, their evolution, properties, and applications, and explores the methods used in astronomical measurements and challenges faced by astronomers since antiquity. It highlights the relevance of integrating the fields of mathematics and astronomy in education, aiming for students to gain a better understanding of the universe and a broader comprehension of the use of logarithms in real-world situations. The study's structure includes chapters on the concept of logarithms, their history, as well as their relationship with astronomy, application exercises, and finally, concluding remarks. The methodology employed involves literature review, verification of observed data, examination of astronomical formulas, aiming for a comprehensive approach to the topic by exposing the contributions of logarithms in this scenario
