Gregorian calendar, the calendar as reformed by Pope
Gregory XIII. in 1582, including the method of adjusting
the leap years so as to harmonize the civil year with the
solar, and also the regulation of the time of Easter and
the movable feasts by means of epochs. See {Gregorian

Gregorian chant (Mus.), plain song, or canto fermo, a kind
of unisonous music, according to the eight celebrated
church modes, as arranged and prescribed by Pope Gregory
I. (called "the Great") in the 6th century.
Gregorian modes, the musical scales ordained by Pope
Gregory the Great, and named after the ancient Greek
scales, as Dorian, Lydian, etc.
Gregorian telescope (Opt.), a form of reflecting telescope,
named from Prof. James Gregory, of Edinburgh, who
perfected it in 1663. A small concave mirror in the axis

t['e]lescope. See Telegraph, and -scope.]
An optical instrument used in viewing distant objects, as the
heavenly bodies.
[1913 Webster]
Note: A telescope assists the eye chiefly in two ways; first,
by enlarging the visual angle under which a distant
object is seen, and thus magnifying that object; and,
secondly, by collecting, and conveying to the eye, a
larger beam of light than would enter the naked organ,
thus rendering objects distinct and visible which would
otherwise be indistinct and or invisible. Its essential
parts are the object glass, or concave mirror, which
collects the beam of light, and forms an image of the
object, and the eyeglass, which is a microscope, by
which the image is magnified.
[1913 Webster]
Achromatic telescope. See under Achromatic.

Cassegrain, which differs from the Gregorian only in
having the secondary speculum convex instead of concave,

positions.
Gregorian telescope, a form of reflecting telescope. See
under Gregorian.

object is formed near one side of the open end of the
tube, and to this the eyeglass is applied directly.
Newtonian telescope, a form of reflecting telescope. See
under Newtonian.
Photographic telescope, a telescope specially constructed
to make photographs of the heavenly bodies.

and the smaller one near the open end) instead of an
object glass. See {Gregorian, Cassegrainian, Herschelian,
& Newtonian, telescopes}, above.

formed by refraction through an object glass.

ecliptic; the period occupied by the earth in making its
revolution around the sun, called the astronomical year;

adopted by various nations as a measure of time, and

gregorian calendar
(foldoc) | Gregorian calendar
The system of dates used by most of the world. The
Gregorian calendar was proposed by the Calabrian doctor
Aloysius Lilius and was decreed by, and named after, Pope
Gregory XIII on 1582-02-24. It corrected the Julian calendar
whose years were slightly longer than the solar year. It also
replaced the lunar calendar which was also out of time with
the seasons. The correction was achieved by skipping several
days as a one-off resynchronisation and then dropping three
leap days every 400 hundred years. In the revised system,
leap years are all years divisible by 4 but excluding those
divisible by 100 but including those divisible by 400. This
gives a mean calendar year of 365.2425 days = 52.1775 weeks =
8,765.82 hours = 525,949.2 minutes = 31,556,952 seconds.
leap seconds are occasionally added to this to correct for
irregularities in the Earth's rotation.
