mysteries of Jupiter. The year of 1610 Galileo Galilei took his telescope to peer up at Jupiter‚ what he saw there was what looked like to be four stars near the bright disk of Jupiter. Galileo quickly realized that these “stars” were actually moons that orbited Jupiter. This discovery was not only important for Jupiter as a planet‚ but this revelation also provided important evidence in support of the Copernican model of the solar system. The four moons that Galileo observed are now called the Galilean

Galileo is viewed as the father of modern science because he made and tested theories which we still go by in the current years. In the present day we are thought and live by the heliocentric theory. This basically means that the sun in in the center and the planets are in its orbit. The Roman Catholic Church believed that the earth was in the center‚ therefore the sun and other planets were in the Earth’s orbit. Galileo was charged of false teaching. The charge against Galileo was grounded on

According to Bowles and Kaplan‚ “though the Scientific Revolution spread over two centuries and encompassed many different scientific and cultural elements‚ four main themes were important: Nature was a machine‚ instruments could quantify and measure phenomena‚ science had practical value‚ and active experimentation could prove theory better than passive observation” (Bowles and Kaplan‚ 2012‚ pg. 1). The 18th century was a time that involved the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution also

Galileo’s Daughter by Dava Sobel is a novel that discusses the life of Galileo Galilei and his scientific work. Sobel goes into detail about Galileo’s revolutionary ideas regarding gravity‚ space‚ and philosophy. Due to the novel taking place during the 16th and 17th century in Italy and him playing a huge role in the Scientific Revolution‚ he received harsh criticism and condemnation over this. However‚ his eldest daughter‚ Suor Maria Celeste‚ remained by his side and her letters praised her father’s

revolution‚ Ptolemy came up with the geocentric theory. The geocentric theory stated that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun and planets revolved around it. At the start of the scientific revolution‚ Copernicus‚ Kepler‚ and Galileo all contributed to the challenging of Ptolemy’s theory. In the early 1500’s Copernicus theory developed to be almost the exact opposite of Ptolemy’s. Copernicus believed that the sun was the center of the universe and that the earth and all the other
