Three extremely significant men of science and more importantly astronomy‚ excelled in their fields in leaps and bounds. Aristotle‚ Ptolemy‚ and Copernicus all were and still are renowned as great minds and influential astronomers. These great men were all well known for their models of the solar system‚ many aspects of these theories are still used in current research by our generation’s most brilliant minds in astronomy. The geocentric and heliocentric models of the solar system were possibly the

That would be their Science and Astronomy fields. If one were to look up in a library books about ancient Greek science and astronomy they would have a mountain of books to sift through. There seem to be so many individuals who have contributed towards the great scientific and astronomic revelations that the list of names seems

This activity was really interesting because it was my first time that I paid attention what and how the moon works and moves also I love the moon when it projects a lot of light. My observations started on September 20th and they end on October 20th. During this time that I was looking for the moon there

Rebecca McKenney Introduction to Astronomy Mrs. Alburg 12 April 2017 Chapter 7 Notes If all the mass of the satellites‚ asteroids‚ meteoroids‚ comets‚ and planets (besides Jupiter) in the solar system were combined and doubled two and half times‚ you will get the mass of Jupiter. Both Jupiter and Saturn have “colorful bands that extend around” it’s respected “equator.” (Slater) The dark reddish bands of Jupiter are called belts‚ while the lighter color bands are called zones.

Our understanding of celestial objects depends upon observations made from Earth or from space near the Earth 1) Discuss Galileo’s use of the telescope to identify features of the Moon. The Tuscan physicist‚ mathematician and philosopher Galileo Galilei constructed one of the earliest telescopes which he pointed towards the heavens. Galileo observed the moons of Jupiter‚ the phases of Venus and the rough features of the moon. This new evidence conflicted with the

I figured that out a few years after the “argument” with my mother (when I was old enough to use a computer and figure it out for myself). My favorite thing about astronomy is there are no boundaries in how you perceive it‚ and it overworks your thought process. Like Vincent Van Gogh had once said‚ “For my part I know nothing with any certainty‚ but the sight of stars make me

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.
