Julie Wakefield explains‚ “Uranus possesses a long history of intrigue. The mysterious fleck befuddled Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). Among the first to point a telescope toward the heavens‚ the keen Italian observer likely spotted the faint pearl about a decade into the 17th century‚ but Galileo assumed it was a star‚ much as he had dismissed Neptune.

Galileo Galilei caught wind of the enhanced invention‚ and couldn’t resist getting his hands on one. Kepler obliged and Galileo‚ having improved the telescope even further‚ began a long process of viewing and plotting which‚ when published in his Starry Messenger‚ eventually earned him the title‚ “father of modern observational astronomy.” Galileo was a firm believer of the heliocentric theory‚ and even went so far as visiting

Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy"‚ the "father of modern physics"‚ the "father of science"‚ and "the Father of Modern Science".2 Nicolaus Copernicus although the original person to have the theory did not receive the same level of criticism and fight back that Galileo got.

For almost two years‚ we have been in search of what we believed were time capsules‚ hidden away between the years of 1400‚ when the Renaissance period started‚ and 1750 which marks the end of the Baroque period. We are pleased to announce that our nearly twenty-four year search has ended in the discovery of two such capsules. Each of these capsules contains information‚ vital to the understanding of past cultures and their origins‚ and necessary to the development of culture today. In what

An English scientist‚ Isaac Newton‚ helped to bring together the observations of Copernicus‚ Kepler‚ and Galileo in a single theory of motion. Using his physics and mathematics background‚ Newton was able to connect the fact that all physical objects were affected equally by the same forces with space. He discovered that the same force caused the motion of the

I learned more about space exploration not specifically on Jupiter. Since I learned more about Jupiter and that Galileo Galilei used a rudimentary telescope to discover Jupiter. That’s when I got interested. Materials were collected to make Jupiter and their moons. Sized blocks and sized spheres were either spray painted primer gray or matte black. When those dried the
