speculation about the structure of the universe. 3. What was Kepler’s role in interpreting Tycho Brahe’s data? The work of Brahe and Kepler‚ his assistant who succeeded him‚ proved that the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems are both inadmissible. Kepler took Brahe’s data and created three mathematical statements about the solar system. Brahe’s work led Kepler to unreveal that Earth is not at the center of the universe and that planetary orbits are not circular‚ which is called Kepler’s Law.

8. In both Hipparchian and Ptolemaic systems‚ the planets are assumed to move in a small circle called an epicycle‚ which in turn moves along a larger circle called a deferent. Both circles rotate clockwise and are roughly parallel to the plane of the Sun’s orbit (ecliptic). Despite the fact that the system is considered geocentric‚ the planets’ motion was not centered on the Earth but on what is called the eccentric. The orbits of planets in this system are epitrochoids. The epicycle rotated and

This was the opinion of the two small children‚ Knud and Johanne‚ who were playing there‚ crawling under the gooseberry bushes to reach each other.

Humans have tamed steel‚ stone‚ lumber‚ and even living vegetation‚ all in effort to reach the people‚ places‚ and things that we desire. Although the concept of bridges is as simple as a tree falling across a creek‚ bridge design and construction requires very serious ingenuity. Artists‚ engineers‚ and architects pour vast resources into bridge construction so that they can reshape our daily environment for the better. When building bridges you’ll need help from BATS which are the key structural

PHYS1160 Introduction to Astronomy and the Search for Life Elsewhere Lecture Updates The video lectures for this course were made in mid-2009. Here are some updates to some of the information in the lectures. For some of the lectures where the material most needs updating we have provided updated versions in a new format. This currently applies to lecture 7 (Module 2) and lecture 12 (Module 3). We are considering introducing this new format material more generally as it is easier to keep up to date
