Nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust‚ hydrogen‚ helium and other ionised gasses. The discovery of nebula goes back to the early 1600s. Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc discovered the Orion Nebula in 1610 using a refracting telescope. Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc used this telescope to observe the skies‚ for example‚ it was used to observe Jupiter’s moons as well as other aspects of space‚ including nebulae. The discovery of the Orion nebula was revolutionary. While it was Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc

Galileo was contributed a lot to us today because he had major discoveries in math‚ astronomy‚ physics and engineering. Even though he had an unideal childhood‚ Galileo went to college at the University of Pisa. He also began teaching at the age of 17. In 1568 he invented the hydrostatic balance. this is used to measure the “specific gravity” of a gemstone. This is something that people use today in gemology. He also gave private math lessons to children in florence and his college. In 1593‚ Galileo

used physics (Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems) to support Copernicus’ Heliocentric theory. Kepler mathematics (laws of planetary motion) and his expertise in optics (inventing an improved version of the refracting telescope (Keplerian Telescope) and gave credit to Galileo for his telescopic discoveries) to support the Heliocentric model. The Heliocentric model was accepted as the structure of the Solar System because of the work of these ancient scientists and the work

How did the universe originate and evolve to produce the galaxies‚ stars‚ and planets we see today? How did we get here? In order to understand how the Universe has changed from its initial simple state following the Big Bang (only cooling elementary particles like protons and electrons) into the magnificent Universe we see as we look at the night sky‚ we must understand how stars‚ galaxies and planets are formed. There are many questions associated with the creation and evolution of the major

planet found by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope to orbit within the habitable zone of a Sun-like star. Kepler-22b‚ a possible super-Earth‚ is 600 light years away from Earth‚ in orbit around Kepler-22‚ a G-type star.The discovery was announced December 5‚ 2011. The planet was originally discovered on Kepler’s third day of science operations in mid-2009.The third transit was detected in late 2010. Additional confirmation data was provided by the Spitzer Space Telescope and ground-based observations.Kepler-22b’s

4.10 Lab Questions The Big Bang‚ Cosmology Part I: Crash Course Astronomy #42 1. In the video‚ science is compared to a tapestry. Explain what is meant by this comparison. It means when you yank at one thread the whole thing may need to be rewoven but sometimes you must yank the thread like in a tapestry. The comparison of science to tapestry means that scientists may misinterpret things but at the same time may discover new ways to view the universe. 2. Discuss the important contribution Vesto
