Astronomer

Scientists and astronomers are always trying to find out more and more about the outside world. The rings of Saturn are one phenomenon that astronomers are continuing to study. Just recently, it was revealed that these scientists who were studying these rings came to a few surprising theories. THEORY NUMBER 1 ON THE SATURN RINGS It has been concluded by astronomers that the more opacity that something has doesn't mean that it has more mass. They came to this conclusion while studying the rings…

Her success empowered many astronomers and women. Maria Kirch was born in February 25th, 1670. Growing up her dad believed she deserved the same education as a boy her age got introduction of Maria Winkelmann Kirch), and educated her until he got sick and died. Fortunately from there her uncle took over in educating Maria. A little later on in her life Maria became interested in astronomy and went to go work and study with Christopher Arnold, an excellent Astronomer (biography: Married…

sent probe outside of the Earth to study what is in the outside of the Earth and beyond the solar system where human being are living. Nine planets formed a solar system. Pluto is the farthest planet on solar system. At the end of 19th century astronomers were observing planets with telescope on a ground “Ground-based telescopes…

British scientist and astronomer who lived and studied during the late 18th century. He had a particular fascination with space and everything it contained, and he made it his goal to understand “the construction of the heavens”. The search for new astronomical objects during Herschel’s time was huge, and at one point during his studies, he began to become very intrigued by the discovery of nebulae. This interest of Herschel was partly due to the studies of another fellow astronomer in France by…

Aryabhatta is without doubt the Astronomer/Mathematician non-pareil of the Post Vedic/Post Epic era in the historical narrative, especially so since his magnum opus The Aryabhattium, which packs a lot of information in the terse aphoristic style characteristic, of that era, has survived intact from the mists of a distant past when he first developed his thesis. His work and the prior work in the Vedic area form an important sheet anchor for the entire chronology that follows, important by virtue…

Edwin Hubble was an famous American astronomer who contributed many discoveries and new ideas to the field of extragalactic astronomy during his lifetime. He is regarded as one of the most valuable astronomers from the 20th century. Edwin Powell Hubble was born to Virginia Lee Hubble and John Powell Hubble in Marshfield, Missouri on 20 November 1889. In 1900, his family moved to Wheaton, Illinois. As a child, Hubble was gifted both intellectually and athletically, excelling in baseball,…

While researching popular toys, games and entertainment in the 1930’s I found that Monopoly is one of the most popular games during this time. Marry Hoyer Dolls weir the dolls of the century. Entertainment was a big time thing because of the Radio from Space and the Frankenstein Monster which was one the most popular films from the 1930’s. These historical events are still interpreted in today’s time. In the 1930’s the Parker Brothers was the first to permit the use of Monopoly. The Parker…

European to observe sunspots, which are visibly darker, cooler areas on the sun. A little over 200 years later (in 1843), amateur German astronomer Samuel Heinrich Schwabe discovered that there is a cyclical, eleven, and by extension to a full cycle, twenty-two year pattern to the variation of sunspot counts known as the sunspot cycle. In 1848, Swiss astronomer Rudolf Wolf devised the following algorithm for making consistent counts of sunspots. [R=10g+f] Where “g” is the number of groups of…

universe? New discoveries have revealed to astronomers that humans may not have only evolved on Earth. Astronomers say that the chance that a human civilization evolved only on Earth and nowhere else in the universe is less than about one in a billion trillion (Shekhtman). The universe is so vast that it is possible there are other Earth-like planets capable of supporting life. The chances that life only evolved on Earth is really low. In fact, Astronomers say that the chance that a human…

on movements, compositions, and other properties of space objects and phenomena. I chose this career because astronomers make a good bit of money, and also because I enjoy reading and learning about outer space. They increase our understanding of the universe, and our place in it. There are a number of skills needed for an astronomer. They need to be good at physics and math. Astronomers work a lot with computers so good computer and programming skills are helpful. Some build their own…
