Galileo Galilei opened up our view of the universe. At first, we only had the naked eye to look into our vast universe, and at the time, the solar system was considered a geocentric system. Once the telescope was invented, Galileo could see celestial bodies orbit something besides the Earth. Also, that the star and the planets, including the one we live on, are in a heliocentric system. This means the planets revolve around the
Hello my name is Firoz Albosaad. I am currently 21 years old I like to hang out with friends and family. This is my second year at NHCC and hopefully I will graduate with my AA in the summer. Other than the typical experience with music like listening to it. I have not had much experience with music I am open to all types of music and like a wide variety. I hope you all have a great summer.
Galileo(1564-1642) Made the telescope better and he used the telescope to observe planets, and he proves kepler’s theory, saw the imperfection of planets, and saw a storm on a planet also saw craters.
Among these people were Copernicus who believed the sun was at the center of the world and the earth, stars and planets revolved around it. Danish astronomer Brahe helped contribute to this idea by contributing a large mass of data about the universe that he was able to discover. His student Kepler kept his ideas going, as he formulated many laws of planetary motion. He said the orbits around the sun were elliptical, planets don’t move in a uniform speed and the time a planet completes its orbit is related to its distance from the sun. Meanwhile, Florentine Galileo decided to use experiments to find out what happened and not what should happen, and discovered that a uniform force makes a uniform acceleration as well as inertia laws, that an object will be in motion forever unless stopped by another force.
the heliocentric solar system. Johannes Kepler further modified the heliocentric system, by mathematically showing that the planets’ orbits are elliptical. With his invention of the telescope, Galileo made new observations about the solar system and found mathematical laws that described the movement of the planets. Later, Isaac Newton established a universal law of gravity. With the new scientific discoveries, the gap between religion and science increased. Science revolutionized the human though and its understanding of the universe.
In summer of 1609, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) pointed his revolutionary astronomical telescope to the heavens under the starry Venetian sky; his greatly important observations unveiled the mysteries of universe and would end up changing the course of scientific thought forever. Galileo lived in an age where there was much status quo, when scientists and philosophers would accept scientific and religious doctrine that had stood for hundreds, if not thousands, of years instead of challenging the accepted knowledge in favor of intellectual progress. Galileo’s scientific methods lead to significant discoveries explaining key scientific laws, such as the
Slowly scientists, physicists and astronomers realised that our solar system did not revolve around earth and that all planets orbited the sun. It had great impact on the ways that physicists thought about our solar system and the universe. By Galilei’s great observation modern scientists can now study our solar system with the correct picture in mind (planets orbiting the sun and moons orbiting the planets) and they can draw conclusions about the future of our solar system and
“Today you are you, that is truer than true. There no one alive that is youer than you!” Dr. Seuss is frequently acknowledged for his poems along with his children books. Thus meaning, he caught the attention of people especially children because of the way he used words to create a image in people's minds. Furthermore, In this analysis essay I will explore how Dr. Seuss uses repetition and tone/ theme to generate diverse effects for the reader to consider.
Galileo was an Italian mathematician and astronomer who developed an improved telescope. He made observations the undermined established understandings of the cosmos. His discovery of Jupiter and many new stars, suggested a cosmos far larger than the finite universe of traditional astronomy. He published his remarkable findings in a book titled The Starry Messenger. (Ways of the World, 557-559)
Defined by the dictionary, honor is to have high respect and esteem. My definition of honor is to discover the unknown and not be afraid to share these discoveries. Johannes Kepler was a scientist who discovered multiple new things and shared them with others, I consider him an honorable scientist. Johannes Kepler was the first to correctly explain planetary motions, technically becoming the founder of celestial mechanics and the first “natural laws” (Kepler: Johannes Kepler). Kepler did not call these discoveries “laws”, as later it would be that Isaac Newton would derive them(Johannes Kepler (German astronomer).
Ideas in science, especially astronomy and human anatomy, changed how many viewed man and led to a path of enlightenment. One example of the variation in science was the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric universe. Pre-renaissance the Catholic Church conveyed that the center of the universe was earth. At the time, arguing with the church was considered a sin, so rarely did anyone try to contradict this idea. The geocentric viewpoint had been long affirmed until Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, reversed this idea, solely based off of mathematics and observations. Promptly after during the Renaissance, scholars studied Ptolemy and realized the idea that the center of the universe was actually the sun, not the earth. The heliocentric doctrine that Copernicus came up with was first denied because the Catholic church had claimed the earth, and humans, were at the center of everything, and the universe revolves around man. This was a real epiphany to people at the time because it made them rethink that perhaps without them being the center of the universe they aren't the most important things. This helped to expand means, though out of just religion and themselves. These ideas changed how many viewed man because it was proven that humans were not the center of the
During the 16th-18th centuries many historical events happened, in the 16th century Nicolaus Copernicus wrote a book called On The Revolutions Of The Heavenly Bodies. During the writing of the book, Nicolaus Copernicus was trying to prove that the Geocentric Theory was wrong. The book talks about how the planetary movements work and it also has many mathematical equations he used to solve the Heliocentric Theory, which would help other scientists continue his studies. A few years later, in the 17th century another scientist named Galileo wrote another book called Starry Messenger. Galileo wrote a book because he had a telescope and was making observations. Galileo wrote the book about all the observations that he had made. The books of these scientists showed the world the the Scientific Revolution was going to make a big impact on the world.Which is why the Scientific Revolution gave a big impact to the world because without the scientist the world would not have many of the inventions the scientists made. The Heliocentric Solar System would not have been discovered to help us understand the outer system. We would also not have medicine to help cure diseases and they would have not made advanced technology.
Galileo was first to have the use of a telescope to observe celestial bodies, which helped him greatly in making new discoveries. He was able to not only study the motion of other planets, but was able to observe the satellites orbiting those planets. Galileo also discovered an enormous amount of stars by observing the Milky Way giving way to theorizing that there is more to our universe then what was previously thought. Galileo later found himself in trouble with the Catholic Church for publicly announcing his findings, which went against the Church’s held beliefs of the Earth’s place in our universe. Sadly, Galileo had to essentially denounce his findings and was forced to keep his discoveries private for the rest of his days.
One of Galileo’s most notable inventions that he used to make many discoveries was the telescope. In 1609 Galileo heard of the telescope being developed, he decided to construct one himself with the minimal information about it he had. When he finally produced a sample of it, he decided to turn it to the sky Astronomy went forward because of Galileo’s telescope and its uses (Galileo and the Telescope).
In 1609, Galileo Galilei, using “spyglass” which allowed one to see things closer than they appeared, made an early version of the telescope. With it, he observed the skies in a way no one had before. He discovered the moon isn’t perfectly globular, it has craters, the Sun has sunspots, Venus orbits the Sun (contrary to widespread belief in his time), and then he observed four “stars” around Jupiter (“Our Solar System”).

The 1970 's was my era of middle childhood development. This was still a time of turmoil and racial inequality. Being a black child gave me few advantages growing up during this time. I attended decent schools, lived in a middle class neighborhood, and was socially active. I was a nerd, but not in the best sense of the word. I was smart but I was lazy. School was boring to me. I knew the work, but I did not want to do the work. This fact was related back to my parents via my teachers ( grades 6th-8th). My nickname was Tony but I was pinned as the Professor by my family. Like I said, I knew the work I just did not do the work. The nickname made me feel good and bad at the same time. I liked the acknowledgement that I was being recognized for being smart but I hated the fact that I was also expected to live up to the nickname. This was also the beginning of a state of confusion and asserting my independence. Discovering just who I was and in what direction my life was going. (Erikson, 1968) Today I don 't consider myself the same way. I pat myself on the back when I do a good job, but when I do poorly I kick myself in the butt. The difference now is I care one way or the other about the outcome. I was brought up in an authoritative environment, that is to say I did as I was told and did not question why.It is
