This early connection between the music and words of this familiar old song and the actual lights above them is the beginning of understanding the vastness of our universe. These introductory conversations about the night sky should eventually lead them to beginning astronomy studies. This lesson plan is designed to introduce your student or students to a basic beginning understanding of what astronomy is and why it

Renaissance the scientist known as Galileo made a very significant discovery about the universe using his telescope. Galileo discovered that the sun was the center of the universe and that all the other planets revolved around it. Though‚ this discovery‚ brought doubt upon Galileo’s discovery‚ as it contradicted the beliefs of the Catholic Church. The church believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the planets did not move. When Galileo presented this theory to the church‚ it

Within the past 100 years‚ science has increased brilliantly to very high level. With science we are able to understand the universe‚ the planet we live in‚ and create medication for the sick. Information people had no idea of is common knowledge today. With such knowledge‚ why would someone believe in religion? Is it because of tradition or culture of past four fathers? In order

A Brief History of Telescopes 1608 AD – Hans Lippershey‚ German-born Dutch lens maker‚ applied for a patent for his refracting telescope (using 2 lenses)‚ he intended them for use in the military. 1609-1610 – Galileo Galilei built his own refractor telescopes to observe the sky‚ and discovered Saturn’s rings‚ Jupiter’s moons‚ and along with many other significant discoveries. 1655 – Christian Huygens‚ a Dutch physicist and astronomer developed powerful lenses for refractor telescopes with his

Aristarchus (310 – 230 BC) Aristarchus of the isle of Samos was the first of the Greek philosophers and mathematicians to work out the workings of the universe and announce his discovery. Aristarchus‚ by observing the moon during a lunar eclipse‚ and estimating the angles between the Earth‚ Moon and Sun‚ as well as the size of the earth‚ was also one of the first astronomers to calculate the relative sizes of the Sun‚ Moon and Earth. Other astronomers before Aristarchus assumed that the

Physical science is everything thus it is our tool to unfold the mystery of the universe where man is its greatest occurrence. It is us‚ humans‚ who operate in accordance with the laws of nature and surely‚ we shall benefit from knowing and understanding the rules of the universe where we live.

origin of the universe. In essence‚ this theory states that the universe began from an initial point or singularity which has expanded over billions of years to form the universe as we now know it. In 1959 a survey was conducted of scientists across America concerning their understanding of the physical sciences. One particular question asked “What is your concept of the age of the Universe?” More than two thirds of the scientists polled responded that there was no origin of the Universe. They believed

Galileo Galilei was not planning to change the view of the universe like he did‚ and he had no idea that what he discovered would spark such a change in thinking. When he first pointed his homemade telescope to the sky in the winter of 1609‚ he was amazed by what the night sky really looked like (Maran 30). The telescope

What the human race believe the force that seemed to construct all of us may be not what it seems. An idea created upon literally nothing. May the nothing rather be something. A mad idea‚ maybe the start of the story to find out all of us. The energy force in space first thought up and documented by the scientist we all know‚ Albert Einstein. The teachings
