The Unprecedented Impact of the Telescope The telescope has had a significant impact on everything related to astronomy and it has changed the world forever. There have been thousands of discoveries made using numerous types of telescopes‚ and it has enabled us to do things that would have never been possible without it. The telescope has allowed us to see with our own eyes what has always been outside of our world‚ but there is still much more to be discovered. People have always been intrigued

Introduction Galileo Galilei is considered to be the most predominant scientists during the 17th century for the astronomical discoveries that he made using a telescope. He utilized the telescope in the year of 1616. Galileo faced numerous challenges and remarkable discoveries which impacted science forever. The telescope was first invented by a Dutch eyeglass maker named Hans Lippershey in 1608‚ but it was Galileo who first commenced the astronomical discoveries by pointing the telescope towards

Brahmagupta (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मगुप्त; listen (help·info)) (597–668 AD) was a Indian mathematician and astronomer who wrote many important works on mathematics and astronomy. His best known work is the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta (Correctly Established Doctrine of Brahma)‚ written in 628 in Bhinmal. Its 25 chapters contain several unprecedented mathematical results. Brahmagupta was the first to use zero as a number. He gave rules to compute with zero. Brahmagupta used negative numbers and zero for computing

Copernicus was a genius who had a great interest in astronomy. It was he who stated that the sin was the hub around which all other planets revolved. In this case Copernicus was a non conformist i.e. he believed in something that was against the religious teachings/implications of the church‚ but his being non conformist was the sole cause of the development of a theory that bought about a great change in the scientific perspective of astronomy. At present a very serious issue has jumped into the
