During his time in Padua he made a lot of scientific discoveries in both pure and applied science. One of his achievements was the improvement of the telescope. At that time telescopes were hard to made‚ rare to find and had bad quality. Galileo succeeded in making his own and improved telescope. His financial stats have raised by selling his telescope to merchants and the naval arsenal of Vennesse. It was sold to the naval arsenal so they can spot enemy ships hours before their arrival

(AstroLab.2006) after he became an “Astroseismologist” which is an Astronomer who studies the internal structure of stars meaning to study the parts inside of the stars‚ by looking at changes in their light. Gilles Fontaine has won many awards like the BSC Physics award at Laval University in 1969 and the Marie-Victorian

contributions” 1. Isaac Newton quantified and qualified the laws of motion and gravity. He also invented the reflecting telescope and co-invented the mathematic process of calculus. 2. Albert Einstein developed theories of relativity‚ and won a Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect. 3. Galileo Galilei improved on the refracting telescope and discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter‚ but he is most well-known for standing up for Copernican theories of a heliocentric

When discussing Isaac Newton the first thing that comes to mind is what a great scientist he was. While researching for this paper I learned there was so many other interesting facts in the life of Sir Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton was born December 25th 1642 in Lincolnshire‚ New England. (This date was later changed to January 4‚ 1643 when the Gregorian calendar was adopted in England.) Newton’s parents were Isaac Newton and Hannah Ayscoug. Newton’s father passed away in October 1642‚ three months

A more scientific contribution of Hertz’s research is seen in radio telescopes. Since many interactions in the universe cannot be seen in the visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum‚ various telescopes‚ such as the radio telescope‚ have been created to detect the effects of these events in other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum (Electromagnetic Spectrum). This is important for observing

Herschel discovered infrared light when he was observing the sun he noticed that when he put coloured filters over his telescope that different coloured filters heated up his telescope by different amounts. Using a prism he broke up visible light he put a thermometer in the different colours. He found that the temperature got more massive as he moved the thermometer from violet to red after this He then measured the temperature where there was no visible light ( red end of the spectrum) and it was

BASICS OF LEVELLING USES OF LEVELLING In the context of tidal measurements‚ levelling is used for the following purposes: • Referencing of Tide Gauges: To determine and check the vertical stability of the tide gauge bench mark (TGBM) with respect to reference points (benchmarks) in its immediate vicinity. In order to isolate any local movements‚ there should be at least three such benchmarks‚ and the levelling should be repeated on an annual or semi-annual basis. • Connection

After Apollo program ended budget cuts followed; but succeeded with the Skylab project and the Viking Mars Landers but most of all the majestic Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope lets us watch the expansion of the universe in a way never before imagined. Not only does it have 10 times the resolution of a ground-based telescope and 50 times the sensitivity‚ but another development around the same time made its unprecedented views of the universe more accessible than any previous scientific

knew exactly who was Galileo‚ then you should really read this project. In brief he was a great person who lived during the renaissance‚ and was a great follower of Copernicus. He was mostly an astronomer. Have you ever wondered when looking from a telescope‚ knowing that it was invented during the renaissance‚ who invented such a great thing at that time‚ think about it‚ what a great invention‚ I mean in that time to be able to see the stars which are so far away was something extremely amazing‚ today
