It doesn’t matter your weight or color‚ it’s the inside that is important and astronomy has helped me keep sight of that. In a greater sense it has also taught me

Before the Scientific Revolution‚ the Bible or Greek philosophers such as Aristotle or as-tronomers like Claudius Ptolemy‚ whose ideas were sanctioned by the church‚ answered any questions regarding the natural world. In the bible it writes‚ "Mankind is the most important of God’s creations and occupies the centre of his universe." Astronomers there-fore stated that‚ "The earth is at the centre of the universe. The sun‚ the moon and the stars all move around the earth." During the scientific revolution

Dark Matter (Review) Dark Matter (Review) Kenneth Lathrom Kenneth Lathrom 6th Period Dark matter is the missing piece to the astronomical equation of galactic gravitation. Simply put it is the objects we do not know and cannot see that explain why the farthest planets don’t follow the “norm” and hurtle away from the center of their designated galaxy. Astrophycists have been looking for signs of these unseen particles. Having theorized that when two dark matter particles collide they

The universe is a barren‚ dark‚ mysterious backdrop on which the planet Earth is merely a speck of blue dust. Why are physicists attracted to the study and detailing of such a vast‚ empty place? In general‚ physicists are an overlooked group of workers‚ but nonetheless‚ they are a special breed of people. In Jonathan Lethem’s As She Climbed Across the Table‚ physicists are described in their workplace‚ and the personal life of a particular physicist is focused upon. Glenn D. Wilson‚ and Chris Jackson

Science and Religion: Two Separate Entities As a result of many new astronomical discoveries throughout the seventeenth century‚ it was clear science and religion greatly contradicted each other. Followed by the questioned findings of Nicolaus Copernicus‚ Galileo Galilei believed the sun was situated motionless in the center of the universe while the earth rotated on its axis‚ all the while revolving around the sun. This idea‚ though scientifically proven to be correct‚ completely opposed the

SCIENCE IS INEVITABLE Summary I read the article “Is Scientific Progress Inevitable?” which was written by Andrew Irvine on 2006.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer who provided many scientific insights that paved the way for later scientists. His explorations of the laws of motion and improvement of the telescope helped him further understand the universe and world around him. The two caused him to dispute the then current beliefs at the time that all things in the heavens revolved around the Earth. Galileo made history with his observations of the heavens. In 1610‚ he wrote a book revealing his observations‚ Sindereus

The Telescope (Reflecting) Introduction: The true beauty of the universe cannot be seen by just the naked eye‚ the telescope is controversially the most important optical instrument in history. Telescopes are widely used around the world and come in different shapes‚ sizes and go by a variety of different names. They can be used to detect noise and sound and even be used to study the stars and supernovas but are more commonly used to gain another perspective into space‚ watching planets such
