How Astronomy Has Changed The World

Astronomy, is for me, why we are even here at all. As humans [and wizards], we owe our lives to discovering our own universe and beyond, it is our utmost dedication that we discover facts and information on everything around us. People have dedicated months, years, to discovering what truly makes us part of the universe, we have achieved and advanced so much just by studying our stars, our solar system and our neighbouring planets.

Since then, astronomy has become an integral element in my life. I began to watch every solar eclipse and lunar eclipse and use our school’s astronomical telescope to observe planets and stars in different galaxies and nebulas. Observing the universe and its components made me learned the vastness of our universe and generated my sense of awe to nature.

Burn’s Day Storm began, on January 25 and 26 over in North Western Europe. It was a hurricane force that had reaches over 104 mile per hour that had enough to cause a lot of damage. When the storm was over it had caused 97 dead, more than 500,000 people without powers, and 3,000 trees were destroyed. This hurricane was known as Daria.

To me, astronomy means understanding more about the universe we live in. We often get short sighted living on Earth, and we fail to realise just how much more there really is out there, not only in our Solar System but in the Milky Way and beyond! Learning about different planets and other celestial bodies opens up a whole new world (pardon the pun) of learning, and can teach us about past events such as the creation of our Solar System or even the universe. And by learning more about these foreign bodies, we are also learning more about the forces that govern Earth, how Earth came to be, and what may lie in store for us. Overall I think it is a very interesting subject, and while more down-to-Earth people (again, pardon the pun) may scoff

The galaxies and space have been around for thousands and thousands of years, with our own galaxy and solar system only existing for a fraction of that amount of time. Scientists have been fascinated with researching space, the various galaxies, and planets in the solar system to try to understand their complex nature and forms. Certain scientists will gather their research by joining professional institutions that work towards the goal of uncovering and exploring the universe’s secrets. These institutions and scientists conduct their research in a variety of ways, such as sending robots they built to different planets in order to study what the planet’s materials are made out of and what types of weather patterns happen on the different planets. Other scientists can choose a different path where they use their own means to conduct their research, like working in their own private labs or renting equipment to use for the purpose of studying their exact field of scientific interest. Then there are people who didn’t go to school to get an educational degree specializing in science, but have an intense fascination with certain

The scientific revolution was a time period considered to be known as new way of thinking about the natural world. The important details to note about it are the ones that sparked the beginning of it. There were many things that are believed to have lead up to it, but a few things are; the Italian Renaissance, understanding of ancient Arabic text and better use of scientific instruments. The Italian Renaissance was a time of achievements and cultural change that took place between the 14th and 16th centuries. Changes that took place during this time began to lead up to the Scientific Revolution.

Throughout history, there have been many discoveries, achievements, advances, and adventures. When people make these discoveries they bring something new into the human civilization. Space history has improved the world in many ways. Many space probes and satellites have contributed valuable information. NASA has worked hard to make many improvements in space knowledge and history.

One way that astronomy is an ongoing process is Mars. On November 6, 2011 NASA launched a rover all the way to Mars. The rover didn’t land until August 6, 2012. The reason NASA launched the rover is to figure out if there was ever a way for Mars to support microbial life. NASA is closer than ever to sending American astronauts to Mars. There are increasing challenges while humans are moving farther from Earth. NASA is managing these problems, however, as they occur. Living/working in space requires risks, but the journey to Mars is worth the risk. NASA will need to learn new ways of operating in space. The technological and operational challenges are classified in three different groups: Transportation, sending humans and cargo through space

The study of our stars is very important, astronomers study them to predict what will happen to our sun, which directly affects us.

Scholars and philosophers began to reevaluate old notions about other aspects of society in the wake of the Scientific revolution. They sought new insight into the underlying beliefs regarding government, religion, economics, and education. An idea that was reevaluated was: a monarch’s rule is justified by divine right. The new idea was that a government's power comes from the consent of the governed. John Locke held a different point of view. He believed that people could learn from experience and improve themselves. Locke criticized absolute monarchy and favored the idea of self-government. A French writer, Montesquieu, proposed the idea that separation of powers would keep any individual or group from gaining total control of the government.

Astronomy is a very interesting subject to me as there so much more out there that we can learn about other than just Planet Earth. There is a lot to discover on Earth alone but there is even more in the Solar System. New stuff can be discovered every day and there are astronomers and Mathematicians everywhere who are working hard to discover this and give us the information they have found so we can continue to learn new things about what is out in the sky.

Fast forward a bit and you have Galileo Galilei using a telescope to observe our galaxy in 1610. In 1755 Immanuel Kant makes an observation that a galaxy is a rotating disk of stars held together by gravity. In 1932 Karl Guthe Jansky discovers radio noise coming from the milky way. People continue discovering things about galaxies even up until now.

Western Europe in the seventeenth-century thinkers divided into two groups, the "ancients" and the "moderns". The "ancient" group emphasized Aristotle and other classical authors as the foundation of knowledge, in fields such as medicine, mathematics and astronomy. The "modern" group argued that human reason provided the key to knowledge. Their viewpoint contradicted the Christian idea of humanity as tainted by original sin and capable of salvation through God's mercy. They had the belief that God endowed humankind with reason and through that reason the truth would come.

Astronomy is a science that studies everything outside of the earth's atmosphere, such as planets, stars, asteroids, galaxies; and the properties and relationships of those spiritual bodies. Astronomers base their studies on research and observation. Astrology, on the other hand, is the belief that the positioning of the stars and planets affect the way events occur on earth. If you're interested in the solar system and the planets, other celestial objects like asteroids and comets, other galaxies and the rest of the universe, what makes up space, and the possibility of alien life or space travel, astronomy is the field you're considering. Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. It applies mathematics, physics, and chemistry, in an effort to explain the origin of those objects and phenomena and their evolution. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, galaxies, and comets; while the phenomena include supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, and cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, all astronomical phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy. A related but distinct subject, physical cosmology, is concerned with the study of the Universe as a whole.

The stars have always been a source of wonder because they are so distant. We have been unable to know much about these celestial bodies for so long; however, with the use of spectra scientists are able to learn more than you would think. Emission and absorption spectra have been hiding a vast amount of knowledge, astronomers and physicists are just now learning how to sift through all of the information that the spectra hold. We have been able to learn about what kinds of elements specific stars are composed of, how distant the stars are, and the temperature of the stars.
