This essay is of a woman astronomer Caroline Herschel. Herschel was the first lady to discover a comet. The reason why I chose this topic is because apart from being a women astronomer she also showed her prominence in mathematics. She hailed from a musician background but her fortune brought her to the field of astronomy and today we stand witnessing vital discoveries such as of comets‚ which is a very significant topic of research in this modern era. She has been recognized and honored worldwide

triangular metal‚ or rather small pieces of metal joined together‚ that looks like a small rusty bronze slice of pizza with a lot of screws and hinges as toppings. Its extra parts consist of a small mirror‚ a telescope‚ a scale‚ and several magnifying glasses. What is it? A protractor? A navigator? A telescope? Or is it a mixture of all three? The triangle has a small arm that goes from the vertex to the arc of the circle. Furthermore‚ the arm is a calibrator that when put at the center shows that the main

He had many inventions that contributed to the Enlightenment such as the Naturalis Principia Mathematica Philosophiae and his ideas about gravity and the invention of the telescope. Isaac Newton was born on January 4‚ 1643 and his first contribution to the enlightenment was making the telescope. In 1668 he created the telescope for optics and this invention proved the idea of color and light. He proved that light was the composite of all other colors and that light is made up of particles. A

the spyglass was invented; the identity of its creator is debated‚ but the only thing that matters in this situation is that the following summer‚ Galileo Galilei heard about it and fashioned a telescope out of it. He used an earlier model and bettered it to become the first person to utilize a telescope to observe heavenly bodies and record his findings. This is an important discovery‚ as it kicked off
