In 1571‚ he settled in Scania after inheriting the land of his father and uncle and built a small observatory. Here‚ he discovered a star‚ one which had not been seen‚ that was brighter than Venus. This supernova in the constellation Cassiopeia shocked the scientific community because it suggested that the universe was not in fact perfect and unchanging

These photos are the view from the Portland Observatory‚ in modern day. If you were standing at the top of the observatory in 1807‚ when Lemeul Moody built it‚ the view would be a little different. The land would not have had houses‚ there wouldn’t be trees or bushes‚ no roads‚ you might see the neighbors cow or a few horses. The land in front of the observatory was used to graze farm animals. The community of Portland would bring their animals there in the morning then pick them up at night‚ almost

astronomy. The HST was built by the United States space agency NASA‚ with contributions from the European Space Agency‚ and is operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute. The HST is one of NASA’s Great Observatories‚ along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory‚ the Chandra X-ray Observatory‚ and the Spitzer Space Telescope. Space telescopes were proposed as early as 1923. Hubble was funded in the 1970s‚ with a proposed launch in 1983‚ but the project was beset by technical delays‚ budget problems

Kamiokande is a neutrino observatory which is under Mount Kamioka in Japan. This experiment uses a 50‚000 ton tank of water to detect and record flashes of neutrinos. In 1987 this observatory was one of three neutrinos observatories to detect neutrinos emitted from a super nova. Another neutrino experiment is called the Ice Cube Experiment. This experiment uses detectors that are lowered into holes melted into the Antarctic. Ice Cube is the world’s largest neutrino observatory. Neutrinos are still

1.0 Introduction The Hubble Space Telescope was created by and named after astronomer Edwin P. Hubble. He was known for his creation of Hubble’s Law which is used to calculate the rate at which the universe is expanding. He is also known for his discovery of the galaxies that are outside the Milky Way. The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope that is placed in orbit around the earth. Scientists have figured out that by placing a telescope in space‚ putting it outside of earth’s atmosphere
