Under the International Year of Astronomy, 400 years from Galileo Galilei discovered Saturn's rings and disprove claims about the alleged lack of perfection of the Moon and Mars' rotation around the Earth, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, through the Directorate General for Promotion of Science and the Institute of Nuclear Sciences, pays tribute to legendary Italian astronomer with the exhibition "The Galilean Month" in the Universum Science Museum.
Lectures by scientists and historians, videos, pictures, plays, spaceyards, counting travel NASA Saturn and Jupiter, via live links with people working in that space institution and 3D displays with reference the life and work of Galileo, as well as some of the great puzzles of astronomy …show more content…
It notes that the projection has been awarded and recognized worldwide as the best series of science literacy in Spanish.
Another relevant aspect is the presentation replica made by Galileo's writings, dating from the seventeenth century, where the astronomer describes each of the events experienced during the discovery of the craters of the moon and the rings of Saturn, whose peculiar characteristic is that they are written in Italian, no common language for those years (the language normally used for scientific texts was Latin), an event over which Galileo revolutionized.
"This event is designed to pay a small tribute to those who dared to challenge the provisions and demonstrate the obvious: Galileo Galilei, the father of the universe," they agreed the presenters of the exhibition, who in November have agreed to take another but now similar event regarding the life of Charles Darwin.
The activities of this exhibition with no extra cost, with payment of the entrance fee to the museum is entitled to all. Hours are Monday through Friday from 9-18 hours. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 10 to 18 …show more content…
His research demonstrated the falsity of the Aristotelian postulate stating that the acceleration of falling bodies fall freely -in was proportional to its weight, and surmised that in a vacuum all bodies fall with equal speed.
Other notable findings include the laws of the pendulum and the laws of accelerated motion, but the work that earned him the title of father of mathematical physics was the Discorsi e Dimostrazioni intorno a due Nuove Scienze attinenti Matematiche Meccanica (Lectures and demonstrations around two new sciences related to mechanics).
This theory made strides in the fields of physics and mathematics of motion analysis, and became the basis of the science of mechanics, developed by later scientists such as Isaac Newton. Galileo created two new science known today as dynamics and strength of materials.
Heliocentric theory.
Galileo Galilei made his assumptions based on the heliocentric theory of Copernicus stated that the Earth revolved on itself once a day, and once a year revolved around the sun. Also stated that the earth in its rotary movement, He tilted on its
