works. An introduction to astronomy and mathematics by his father turned out to be his new passion. A fascination with telescopes peaked his interest and‚ in 1774‚ he constructed his first large telescope. He would spend multiple hours a day polishing and grinding the mirrors used in the telescopes. Observations through a homemade telescope created an excitement in gaining additional knowledge about the universe and the stars. By developing a more powerful telescope‚ Fredrick was able to observe

Civilization‚ with Their Kepler Telescope Nasa discovered one of the most amazing objects with their Kepler Telescope. The object was a huge artificial structure and NASA believes that it has been built by an advanced alien civilization. The Kepler Telescope can discover small‚ rocky worlds that orbit around distant starts. However‚ it can also find space phenomena‚ such as planetary rings made of dust‚ star spots and stellar flares. Now‚ the Kepler Telescope detected a signal from an unknown

ALMA: World`s Largest Telescope Gerald John C. Guillermo Hubble Space Telescope may be awesome but these new radio telescopes in Atacama Desert‚ Chile may be more awesome. Built in the driest place in the Earth‚ the Atacama Large Millimeter Array or ALMA provides the most distinct and the most precise images of local stars and planet formation and can also distinguish the birth of neighboring stars and some of the most distant‚ ancient galaxies. ALMA was initially a 50-50 partnership between the United

Galileo Galilei is a man known for greatly improving the telescope‚ discovering Jupiter’s four largest moons‚ and being the man who experimented with falling objects in the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He was an Italian astronomer‚ mathematician‚ and a physicist. He gave important contributions to science‚ especially in the field of astronomy. With his telescope‚ he discovered the moon’s spherical shape and rough texture‚ Venus’ phases‚ and Jupiter’s moons that do not revolve around earth. All which contradicted

GCSE Astronomy Controlled Assessment: B4 – Constellation Photography Design For my coursework I have chosen to attempt photography of three different constellations in the night sky. I will go out on three separate dates to take photos then select the best photographs to use for the analysis. I will then aim to identify colours and magnitudes of my photographed stars using comparisons with reference stars for which I have collected known magnitudes from official sources.
