His improvements of the spyglass lead him to build the telescope, which let him observe “the moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, the phases of Venus, sunspots and lunar surface” (History.com Staff). His discovery of the phases of Venus supported that planets orbit around the sun and his observation of the moons of Jupiter supported the heliocentric model of the solar system. The pope read to the people while they listened, therefore…

They were small movements held on the wrist by leather straps to make them more practical for everyday use, when originally they were “designed to be worn on a neck chain or lapel pin”.

themselves from the environment around them (Monnard 2002). “Membrane-bounded structures are capable of maintaining specific groups of macromolecules within, facilitating their interaction and promoting a form of speciation that is lacking in bulk-phase environments” (Deamer 2002). First cells were essentially immortal in the fact that they replicated exact copies of themselves in order to survive during mitosis. This allowed for life to progress and…

He also…

outside of their space crafts and on spacewalks. An astronaut’s visor can occasionally mist up and render him nearly blind, and the weight of his pressure suit opposes a desire to lean back, arc his neck and gaze at the beauty of Earth high in the lunar sky. The astronauts were restricted by these barriers which resulted in a loss of detail from viewing space and a loss in their sense of…

With 71% percent of the whole world being covered in water, it is no wonder that we as humans have a fascination with the Earth’s oceans and its tides. In fact, it’s even worthwhile to invest in knowledge of the causes and effects of tides and currents in regard to the planet we inhabit. First, we shall examine the causes of tides and currents and then explore the effects of those tides and currents on various subjects of interest. At first glance, tides appear simple, but the complexity of…
