know of the steady turn of a telescope dial until the whole moon valleys crest into focus?”. This quote adds further detail to why the girl doesn’t like being outside. When I see “the steady turn of a telescope dial” it is obvious she is looking through a telescope with someone. She doesn’t seem to be very patient‚ bringing up how she would rather be doing other things instead. When I read those first two quotes‚ it makes me wonder why she hates looking through the telescope so much. This is where the

Anyone who has ever heard of Galileo knows about his many great achievements and passions he had during his life. He was an astronomer‚ philosopher‚ engineer‚ physicist‚ and most importantly: an adept mathematician. Clearly‚ he has many talents‚ although‚ we will be looking more at his mathematical accomplishments throughout this essay. Spencer Spencer Galileo was born on February 15th‚ 1564 in Pisa‚ Duchy of Florence‚ Italy and he died January 8th‚ 1642 (77) in Arcetri‚ Grand Duchy of Tuscany

but by the effects they produce mainly on the star around which they are rotating. It is because planets look like just a dull spec of light through a telescope. The distance between us and a nearby planet is very large. In our scale model it will be like looking at a dust particle in Thunder Bay Ontario if we are sitting in Halifax with our telescope. That’s why astronomers have adopted various techniques to find extra-solar planets. In most of the techniques we focus on the star around which planets

studies the underlying ideas behind computing and how computers can be used to study other problems. Heres an analogy... think of how an astronomer uses a telescope to study the stars. Yes‚ the astronomer needs to know how to use the telescope (and how they work and are built)‚ but he is interested in studying the stars and really uses the telescope as a tool. The same holds for the relationship between the computer scientist and the computer. The computer scientists uses the computer to conduct

He watches a neighbor‚ Magnalena‚ using a small telescope each night and even knows her routine as she readies herself for bed. He figures out who she is and calls her‚ but does not talk‚ knowing that will upset her. He enjoys watching get upset with him. But he also gets upset with her when he sees her

When you look up at the night sky‚ you can often see the light of the moon and stars. If I give you a telescope‚ you can see the detailed craters of the moon‚ the billions of more stars far beyond‚ and the colors of our universe. The key to real understanding is knowing what is behind‚ and how to look for it. In French class‚ our yearlong project is to sponsor a Senegalese boy named Alpha.

the M6 cluster is to locate the red star Antares. To the right of Antares is the Butterfly Cluster. It is visible to see without binoculars but you can see it a lot clearer if you use some‚ and of course much more detailed if you view using a telescope. Neighboring M6 is M7‚ the Ptolemy Cluster. The Butterfly Cluster is very bright‚ one of the brightest. Most stars in the Butterfly Cluster are hot blue stars that are younger stars. In M6 there is a massive star that is close to the color orange

time‚ we also had so much fun. We had a lot yet enjoyable activities during the Skymobile. First‚ we had the telescope viewing. They showed us the different parts of the telescope and discussed how each part functions in the telescope. Each of us was given a chance to view something using the telescope. I was really happy that time because it was the first time that I used a telescope. I just hope that it was done in the evening so that I can have a glimpse of the celestial bodies. Later on‚ we

Galileo Galilei‚ born Febuary 15th 1564 and died January 8th 1642‚ was a major contrubitor to science during the Scientific Revolution. As a physicist‚ mathematician‚ astronomer‚ and philosopher‚ his contributions include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations and support for heliocentrism. He also conducted experiments with pendulums‚ establishing the relationships between length and period. He also applied these principles to gravity‚ determining that objects
