Galileo Galilei‚ often referred to as the ‘father of experimental physics’ (18)‚ was of many roles a mathematician‚ philosopher and astronomer. He began his studies at the University of Pisa in 1581‚ attending until 1585 but earning no degree. After proving his talent in mathematics with written papers‚ proofs and the occasional public lecture‚ Galileo secured a teaching profession at the University of Pisa in 1589 and so began his career-long experimental science journey. At the time‚ the Aristotelian

THE SOLAR SYSTEM T The Solar System consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects gravitationally bound in orbit around it‚ all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The vast majority of the system’s mass (well over 99%) is in the Sun. Of the many objects that orbit the Sun‚ most of the mass is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic

cataloging it as 34 Tauri. The French astronomer Pierre Lemonnier observed Uranus at least twelve times‚ not knowing what to call it. Sir William Herschel observed the planet on March 13‚ 1781‚ but he initially reported it on April 26‚ 1781 as a "comet”. Herschel engaged in a series of observations on the parallax of the fixed stars‚ using a telescope of his own design. Unlike the other planets of the solar system‚ Uranus is tilted so far that it essentially orbits the sun on its side‚ with the

Both Jupiter and Saturn have “colorful bands that extend around” it’s respected “equator.” (Slater) The dark reddish bands of Jupiter are called belts‚ while the lighter color bands are called zones.

All in all‚ Tycho Brahe made huge discoveries on the motion of planets before the invention of telescopes‚ discovered a new star in 1572‚ and new comet in 1577‚ and created many instruments to track and study the motion of planet; yet‚ one of the greatest discoveries about this scientist is the life he lived during his time of astronomical

Until recently there was many debates on how the moon‚ our nearest planetary neighbor was formed. Well we believe that at some point in Earth’s early history‚ a rogue planet‚ larger than Mars‚ struck the Earth in a great‚ glancing blow. Instantly‚ most of the rogue body and a sizable chunk of Earth were vaporized. The cloud rose to above 13‚700 miles altitude‚ where it condensed into innumerable solid particles that orbited the Earth as they aggregated into ever larger moonlets‚ which eventually
