In ancient times, a common belief was the sun and planets revolved around the earth. Nicolaus Copernicus had different views and sought to change how the solar system was viewed. He had an idea of how the solar system was structured, which he named the heliocentric theory. The word “heliocentric” refers to having the sun as the center of something, specifically of the solar system. The prefix helio- means “the sun”, the suffix -centric means “the center of”, which then creates the word heliocentric

Jupiter and its Galilean Moons By: Logan Brink Astronomy 101 April 19, 2011 The solar system is an intriguing place. There are objects in our solar system that have unfathomable beauty; a few of these beautiful objects being Jupiter and its four Galilean moons. Jupiter is one of the most interesting bodies in the solar system, so it makes sense that its four largest moons are equally fascinating. The Galilean moons are some of the most curious bodies in our solar system. From dead worlds to

to cause an acceleration (that is, a change in the velocity). As we have noted earlier in conjunction with the discussion of Galileo, Aristotle's view seems to be more in accord with common sense, but that is because of a failure to appreciate the role played by frictional forces. Once account is taken ofall forces acting in a given situation it is the dynamics of Galileo and Newton, not of Aristotle, that are found to be in accord with the observations. Newton's Third Law of Motion: III. For

ginagamit ngayon. Hindi lang mga teknolohiya kung di mga measurements rin. Kagaya ng “Pythagorean Theorem”. Hindi lang sa pag didiskobre ang natutunan ko. Kung hindi ang pagpapahalaga rin at pagmamalaki sa mga naka diskobre nito. Sa mga gawain nila Galileo Galilie ay silang naghirap rin para mapaunlad ang siyentipikong bagay. Kahit man mahirap sa kanila ay hindi parin nila pinigilang mag diskobre at mag aral sa mga bagay bagay. Malaking dulot rin ito sa kanilang panahon at malaking tulong para sa mga

Humankind’s Discovery of Extra-Solar Planets and its Effects on Religion Scott R. Pelow ITT Technical College S. Slovik EN-1320: Composition one Throughout the history humankind has looked to the stars and wondered if they are alone in the universe. Only in the past few hundred years have humans had the means to start answering this timeless and most important of questions and now that humans have begun to discover extra-solar planets in their galactic neighborhood they may soon find out.

theories and observations of an Earth-centered universe. His works on astronomy, such as the Geocentric model, are well renowned for their Earth-centered theories. Ptolemy’s theories and works lasted for thousands of years until astronomers such as Galileo, Copernicus, and Kepler came into the picture to test their theories against the longstanding theory of Ptolemy’s geocentric model. Not only was Ptolemy famous for his works on astronomy and the Almagest but the famous Greek was also fond of astrology

A good scientist should possess the following qualities: 1. A scientist must be curious about the world Example: Galileo Galileo's curiosity about the heavenly bodies made him the first person to use a telescope to study the moon, the sun, the planets and the stars. 2. A scientist is logical and systematic Example: Among the reasons why Gregor Mendel discovered the principles of heredity when others have failed was his logical experimental methods and his careful and accurate record keeping

that the downward movement of any body is that has weight had a proportional relationship between its quickness in motion and its size. This theory was accepted for centuries, but after a series of experiments made by Galileo, Aristotle’s theory was proved to be incorrect, as Galileo said after a series of experimenting at the Pisa tower that body of different sizes fall with the same speed. Later on, the idea that the force is needed so as to change the motion of the body was discovered. After
