He was well known in his lifetime as an astronomer, astrologer, and alchemist writer known for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical observations. Most of his observations came before the telescope and were done at his own observatory where he used all of his own instruments that he invented such as the Tyconian Quadrant which were widely copied and led to the invention of improved observational equipment. He also showed irregularities in the Moon's orbit and discovered a new star in the Cassiopeia formation. He kept detailed record of stars, planets and other noteworthy astronomical events including a comet and a supernova. His observations accurately identified positions of celestial bodies which helped in the creation of the laws of plane.]]> 2020-02-21 04:36:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448456761 Kepler 1571 kiaranaomy0 https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448460720 Johannes Kepler was born in Germany on December 27, 1571. Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer. He is a key figure in the 17th-century scientific revolution, best known for his three laws of planetary motion, stating that the planets move in orbits shaped like an ellipse. A line between a planet and the Sun covers equal areas in equal times. He used Brahes records to try to find a simple description of planetary moon. Though Kepler is best known for defining laws regarding planetary motion, he made several other notable contributions to science. He was the first to determine that refraction drives vision in the eye, and that using two eyes enables depth perception.

He was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author who is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution.Although Isaac Newton is well known for his discoveries in optics (white light composition) and mathematics (calculus), it is his formulation of the three laws of motion—the basic principles of modern physics—for which he is most famous.. Discovered gravity and the law of universal gravitation 
(Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s^2)

He was a theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein had many discoveries, but he is perhaps best known for his theory of relativity and the equation E=MC2, which foreshadowed the development of atomic power and the atomic bomb. Its where the equation derived by the physicist Albert Einstein, in which E represents units of energy, m represents units of mass, and c2 is the speed of light squared, or multiplied by itself. He also stated the Special relativity that is the theory relating space and time and the general relativity theory of gravitation that explains how objects with mass warp space time.

He was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge at the time of his death.  He predicted  the existence of black holes and noted that they emit hawking radiation stating that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black hole, due to quantum effects, causing it to lose matter. If a black hole loses more matter than it gain, it could shrink and eventually vanish. Hawking was also the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.]]> 2020-02-21 05:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448466741 Stonehenge 2800BC kiaranaomy0 https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448469203 the stonehenge was built in several ages & was approximately invented in 2800BC. This was the worlds most famous prehistoric monument. It all began as a simple earthwork enclosure where prehistoric people buried their cremated death. This creation was carefully aligned so that you are able to see the sun rise on the solstices. Various people have attributed the building of this great megalith. ]]> 2020-02-21 06:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448469203 Hipparchus 190BC kiaranaomy0 https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448481342 Hipparchus was born in nicaea on 190BC. He was a greek astronomer, geographer and mathematician. He’s considered the founder of trigonometry but is most famous for his incidental discovery of precession of the equinoxes. With his solar and lunar theories and  his trigonometry, he may have been the first to develop a reliable method to predict solar eclipse. little of his work survives, but ptolemy considered him his most important predecessor. He then passed away in 120BC. ]]> 2020-02-21 07:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448481342 Ptolemy 100AD kiaranaomy0 https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448482474 ptolemy was born in Egypt on 100AD. He was a greek mathematician, astronomer, geographer and astrologer. He recorded longitudes and latitudes in degrees roughly 8,000 locations on his world map. he stated the “ptolemaic system” that was that the planet earth was the center of the universe. He was the most accurate greek to attempt to explain planetary motion. ]]> 2020-02-21 07:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448482474 Copernicus 1473 kiaranaomy0 https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448792872 Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Poland in 1473. He was an astronomer mainly unknown for establishing the concept of a heliocentric solar system in which the sun, rather than the earth, is the center of the solar system. Copernicus was a polish astronomer who put the forth the theory that the sun is at rest near the center of the universe, and that the earth spinning on its axis once daily, revolves annually around the sun. Copernicus also established that the planets orbited the sun rather than the earth. He laid out his model of the solar system and the path of the planets.]]> 2020-02-21 19:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448792872 Galileo 1564 kiaranaomy0 https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448804162 Galileo Galileo was born in Italy in 1564. He became the first person to look at the moon through a telescope and make his first astronomy discovery. He was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer, sometimes described as polymath from Pisa called the "father of observational astronomy" father of "modern physics" he is also known for his discovery of the 4 mound of Jupiter which is now known as the Galileo mounds. after making all these telescopic observations, he published his work and came out publicly in support of the heliocentric model of the solar system. He was then jailed for doing so. ]]> 2020-02-21 19:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448804162 invention & improvement of telescope 1608 kiaranaomy0 https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448810335 The telescope was first patented in 1608. Many people believe that Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to invent and build the telescope; however, the first telescope was made by Hans Lippershey in the early 1600s. Lipperhey was a German-Dutch glass maker, and he managed to reduce the amount of light in his telescope while focusing it. A telescope is an optical instrument that makes distant objects appear magnified by using an arrangement of lenses or curved mirrors and lenses, or various devices used to observe distant objects by their emission, absorption, or reflection of electromagnetic radiation. The invention of the telescope played an important role in advancing our understanding of Earth's place in the cosmos. While there is evidence that the principals of telescopes were known in the late 16th century]]> 2020-02-21 19:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kiaranaomy0/sldm6py0bxer/wish/448810335
