Enormous stones and smaller blue stones were raised to form a unique monument. It was used for many things and served as as a ceremonial site, a religious pilgrimage destination, a final resting place for royalty or a memorial erected to honor and perhaps spiritually connect with distant ancestors.  The cluster of megalithic stones operated as an astronomical calendar, with different points corresponding to astrological phenomena such as solstices, equinoxes and eclipses. ]]> 2020-02-20 15:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448062796 zuloabre0002 https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448092415  Stephen Hawking was born January 8, 1942 in Oxford, UK. He was a British scientist, professor and author who performed groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology, and whose books helped to make science accessible to everyone. His theory of exploding black holes drew upon both relativity theory and quantum mechanics. He also worked with space-time singularities. ]]> 2020-02-20 15:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448092415 zuloabre0002 https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448096660 Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. German-born physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.

He was an English physicist and mathematician, who was the culminating figure of the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century. He solved the mysteries of light and optics, formulated the three laws of motion, and derived from them the law of universal gravitation.]]> 2020-02-21 03:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448443651 zuloabre0002 https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448456377 Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571, in Weil der Stadt was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer. He is a key figure in the 17th-century scientific revolution. He is best known for his 3 laws of planetary motion and many books. ]]> 2020-02-21 04:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448456377 zuloabre0002 https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448460499 Tycho Brahe was born on December 14, 1546 in Knutstorp Castle, Sweden. Brahe made the most accurate celestial observations of his time and challenged the prevailing belief in how the universe was organized. He created a comprehensive study of the solar system and accurate positions of more than 777 fixed stars. His work in developing astronomical instruments and in measuring and fixing the positions of stars went on to pave the way for future discoveries.]]> 2020-02-21 04:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448460499 zuloabre0002 https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448581873  Dutch eyeglass maker Hans Lippershey is widely credited as the first person to patent a telescope in 1608. His device was able to magnify an image up to three times. A telescope is a tool that astronomers use to see faraway objects. Many astronomers have used telescopes to look out into and chart the stars. ]]> 2020-02-21 14:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448581873 zuloabre0002 https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448587433 Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaulti de Galilei was born February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. An Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath. Using the telescope, he discovered the four most massive moons of Jupiter, now known as the Galilean moons: Io, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto. He discovered the geography of the moon and sunspots on the sun.]]> 2020-02-21 14:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448587433 zuloabre0002 https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448614686 Born February 19, 1473 in  Torun, Poland, Polish astronomer who proposed that the planets have the Sun as the fixed point to which their motions that Earth is a planet which, besides orbiting the Sun annually, also turns once daily on its own axis.

He was an Egyptian astronomer, mathematician, and geographer of Greek descent. Ptolemy founded the Ptolemaic Model of the Solar System. The Ptolemaic system was a geocentric system that postulated that the apparently irregular paths of the Sun, Moon, and planets were actually a combination of several regular circular motions seen in perspective from a stationary Earth.]]> 2020-02-21 15:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448621730 zuloabre0002 https://padlet.com/zuloabre0002/ijognsfts4rv/wish/448624250 Born in 190 BC, Nicaea, he was a Greek astronomer, geographer, and mathematician.
