Galileo Galilei was a famous Italian astronomer, mathematician, physicist, philosopher, author, and professor. He is greatly considered one of the most famous and influential astronomers, mathematicians, and physicists in the history of mankind. Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Duchy of Florence, Italy. Galileo’s mother was Giulia Ammannati. His father Vincenzo Galilei was an Italian lutenist, merchant, and composer. Galileo had five siblings: Virgina Galilei,…

Astronomy is a very interesting career. It is the branch of science that deals with outer space objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole. They use data 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…

Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He died on January 8, 1642 in Arcetri somewhere near Florence Italy. “Galileo was and is seen as the ‘hero of modern science’” (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). The reason for this is because he made many discoveries and was known for his work as an engineer, philosopher and mathematician while playing a major role in science during the Renaissance. Galileo was the oldest child in his family, born in Pisa, Italy, but he later…

Many cultures throughout history have referenced to distinct patterns in the sky formed by stars. These patterns have been called many things but now scientists refer to them as constellations. Often times in our society we forget what a privilege it is to have tracking tools and measuring devices but 5000 years ago they used these constellations to track time and be able to tell where they are. Constellations have been seen as specific animals or figures that are then told with myths. STILL…

Galileo Galileo Galilei is one of the early men that helped to develop and discover the world, as we know it today. The man, who most people simply just call Galileo, was a brilliant mathematician, astronomer, and scientist. Galileo was born on February 15th, 1564 (Galileo Galilei). He, his parents Vincenzo Galilei and Guilia Ammannati, and his five siblings were in the middle class but Galileo was still given the opportunity to attend the University. Galileo was encouraged to study medicine…

adventure Science,” is a great quote from a man that uses those senses and is emerged in the study of what he calls science, making great contributions in the 20th century. When you look up the definition of astronomy in the dictionary you will probably find something a little like this “ Astronomy is the branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole,” but isn’t it much more than that? If you had the chance to ask someone, an astronomer, they…

(Dunbar). Furthermore, Hubble can see space better than telescopes on Earth can, it's a different kind of telescope than one would usually use, you don't look through the Hubble Telescope, it uses a high-tech camera that takes pictures then it uses radio waves to send the…

University of Krakow in 1491. There he developed his love for astronomy, but studied law and medicine. He became a doctor of law in 1503 and had a big participation in the humanist movement, as seen in his translation from greek into latin of a Byzantine Poet’s letters. He was appointed canon in 1503 by his uncle, and later he also served as a secretary and physician to the bishop. He was cannon his entire life, even as he was studying astronomy…

When he was young his father sent him to school to study medicine at the university of Pisa, but quickly got bored and decided to study mathematics instead. He later became a professor at the university, and went on to discover a lot more about astronomy. What were his discovery’s? When he was younger and had only just come out of university he helped Niccolò Tantaglia mathematically describe ballistics and the force of friction. Then after discovering more about moving objects he invented his…

In astronomy, precession is an important concept that determines our view of the night sky. Over the centuries, our view of the night sky has changed due to precession. As a result, everyone should have the right and a duty to know about astronomy. Precession impacts our night sky; thus it is crucial to be aware of. Precession is caused by the axis of rotation twisting due to the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon that makes the Earth’s axis upright relative to its orbit…
