until the invention on the optical telescope prior to 1608 that Ptolemy’s model was definitively disproven. Another flaw was that he believed that the Earth was the centre of the universe and the Sun‚ Moon and all other planets revolved around it. Telescopes have improved further still from the optical telescope that could only be used at night in fine weather‚ to the all-weather Radio telescope which detect radio waves coming from space‚ to the Space telescope in which objects in the universe emit

Through much of human existence‚ people have looked towards the sky and pondered what is out there; all the thoughts may have not been talking about space‚ but just the boundaries within their lives. In recent decades space is something that most [people] in the past would not have dreamt of reaching would soon become a vital part of human life as a space exploration become prominent.

Scientific Revolution: The scientific revolution refers to the period of historical changes in thought & belief‚ as well as proposed universal laws. This period brought ideas not only on the motion of the spheres‚ but on the influence of God on daily life and nature theorized by philosophers such as Nicholas Copernicus and Isaac Newton. The Author‚ Its Work: Nicolaus Copernicus‚ On the Revolutions; the Heliocentric Model. Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the idea that the sun was stationary object centered

of Saturn’s moon Titan. Huygens would grind his own lenses for his telescope and invented what is now known as the Huygenian eyepiece. He was also known for his work as a physicist‚ probabilist‚ and horologist. Placing two plano lenses in a telescope‚ separated by an air gap‚ creates the Huygenian eyepiece. The lenses should have the plane sides facing the eye. These eyepieces are best used in long focal length telescopes. These lenses are no longer used today but during Huygens’ time‚ they

invisible light can be performed at any hour of the day. Another‚ probably more key advantage of radio astronomy is that in our galaxy there is quite a bit of dust‚ which makes some other galaxies impossible to view using visible light and optical telescopes. Radio waves travel unimpeded by this dust and allow us to detect these other galaxies‚ and along with this allow us to perform radio astronomy with clouds and rain. Radio astronomy has also helped detect many new objects that would have otherwise
