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

design. Hans Lippershey was a German-Dutch spectacle-maker. He was the first to design a telescope‚ even if it was on accident. Galileo improved his design by first to only eight times the human eye. But within a few year he started to make his own lenses and therefore improving the magnification of the telescope to ten times the human eye but had a very slim field of view. The new improvement on the telescope made it so he could make new discovery about the moon’s surface. The Moon has mountains

After the death of Copernicus‚ there were major contributors to astronomy and its advancement. After Copernicus‚ there was a Danish astronomer named Tycho Brahe. Brahe is known as the greatest astronomical observer before the invention of the telescope; he made the most accurate observations by devising the instruments available. Brahe proposed a hybrid model of Moon and Sun orbiting the Earth and the other planets moving around the sun. This conflicted greatly Copernicus‚ and with other astronomers

Frank Zwicky was an astronomer at Caltech‚ from 1925 until his death in 1974‚ who helped to discover some of the weirdest things in the universe. He was denied access to the University’s large 200 inch telescope to perform calculations so instead he used a much smaller eighteen inch telescope‚ which was barely appropriate for the scientific work he was doing. During his catalog of all known galaxies‚ he discovered tiny points of star-like light at unfathomable distances‚ in such a way that should

According to the article‚ in 2012‚ astronomers have found a binary star system‚ which they named Alpha Centauri‚ that includes a star named Alpha Centauri B being orbited by the planet‚ Alpha Centauri Bb‚ by using the radial velocity method. To clarify on the radial velocity method‚ a planet may possibly be found by seeing the star wobble‚ which may most likely happen due to the gravitational pull of the planet. Astronomers also add that the newly found planet is 4.3 light years away from Earth‚

Galileo died on January 8‚ 1642‚ at the age of 77‚ in Arcetri‚ Italy‚ where he was under house arrest. He is most commonly known for inventing the telescope‚ however‚ he accomplished much more than that. Galileo’s childhood was fairly pleasant‚ as he was born into a family of nobility‚ even though his family was not particularly rich. Galileo was the first of six children born to Vincenzo Galilei‚

Astronomy: Discovery of Uranus by William Herschel in 1781 William Hershal was a telescope maker and with the invention of the telescope was the motivation that led to the discovery. Because the calculated orbit of Uranus did not compare accurately with the observed orbit‚ astronomers concluded that a disturbing influence was present. A study of this irregularity led to the discovery of Neptune in 1846. (Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia‚ 6th Edition. Q2 2016‚ p1-1. 1p.) At first it was thought

SCIENTIFIC INVENTION ASSEMBLY LINE: Primitive assembly line production was first used in 1901 by Ran some Eli Olds (1864-1950)‚ an early car-maker (he manufactured the Oldsmobile‚ the first commercially successful American car). Henry Ford (1863-1947) used the first conveyor belt-based assembly-line in his car factory in 1913-14 in Ford’s Highland Park‚ Michigan plant. This type of production greatly reduced the amount of time taken to put each car together (93 minutes for a Model T) from its
