abilities are minuscule today, it isn’t just worthless rust. “This device is just extraordinary, the only thing of its kind,” says Mike Edmunds of Cardiff University in the UK, a scientist who worked on the device. “The design is beautiful, the astronomy is exactly right…In terms of historical and scarcity value, I have to regard this mechanism as being more valuable than the Mona Lisa.” Many like him agree, this device really is one of a…

Have you ever wondered or thought about how the first telescopes were used and how they looked? Throughout history, there have been many inventions and innovations added into a telescope. Telescopes can vary in shape, size, and even color, but are all used for similar reasons. The development of the telescope dates back to around the 1600s and are still being developed and made today. Today, there are several telescopes that can be identified by people who worked and contributed into making some…

and his criticism of Aristotle left him abandoned by his colleagues. Galileo Galilei was then fired from the University of Pisa.

I would like to begin by saying that Astronomy is one of the most interesting science that I have studied so far. I find fascinating to understand the universe around us and can observe it. Until now, I think that my knowledge on the subjetc wew scarce, but I believe that it have increased considerably due to this subject. Astronomy is the only field of magic study that has an equivalent in the Muggle world. It not only helps the understanding of the constellations and planets, is the source…

It will discuss the general principles behind the design of the astrolabe, the astrolabes basic structure, the modifications made in the Islamic world, and its uses in astronomy…

astronomer stuff and figuring out information. But she also tried out for a job of teaching and training workshops. Was it just for being an astronomer workshop? I highly doubt that situation because not everything in her life just depended on astronomies stuff. Most people see her as just this astronomer that knows about binary stars. But that is not all. She is also a very understanding guider through anything or any situation. Even through tough times and even good…

Eventually, he told himself he didn’t like studying medicine, so he decided to do mathematics. With his love of mathematics he…

for thousands of years the human race have looked into space and wondered what is really out there, thanks to advances in electromagnetic radiation detection it is now possible for humans to study the universe in depth to develop theories such as a heliocentric model of the universe instead of the earlier believed geocentric model. Humans have also been able to observe never before seen phenomena such as the effects of black holes. The national aeronautics and space administration (NASA) are…
