Sunspot

The vessel closest to the top is the one that is to be read as the current temperature. In 1610, Galilei used his newly invented telescope to observe Venus’s phases, the four moons of Jupiter, and the rings of Saturn. He was also the first to note sunspots, which is the assumed cause of his blindness later on in his lifetime. Galileo Galilei had a huge impact on today’s world of physics, astronomy, and science in…

Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer, mathematician, translator, artist, and physicist. Nicolaus Copernicus is the first astronomer to discover that earth and the other planets within the solar system all revolve around the sun. As before the discovery, astronomers believed that earth was the center of the solar system and everyone revolved around it. Therefore, based on Nicolaus Copernicus discovery, it has contributed to astronomical history Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer,…

The Northern Lights are collisions of gaseous particles in Earth’s atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun’s atmosphere. Variation color are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding. The most common color is a pale yellowish-green is produced by the oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the Earth. All red auroras are very rare, they are produced by high altitude oxygen at heights of up to 200 miles. Nitrogen produces blue or purplish-red aurora. In the 17th…

can sometimes get tangled, which will cause the sun’s atmosphere to explode due to the magnetic fields overlapping and getting tangled with each other. The sun's spots on the sun increased in size. The sun’s sunspots can reach temperatures up to about 6,500 degrees Fahrenheit. How these sunspots form is the magnetic field on the sun’s atmosphere, the pressure from the magnetic field increases while the pressure that is around the…

Galileo Galilei created the telescope, used persistence to innovate ways to overcome the church (that was against him and didn’t want him to study space) and continue with improving the telescope and making a major breakthrough on studies of space. Galilei is extremely famous for improving the telescope. Most people think he invented the telescope, but he actually learned about a telescope created by Dutch eyeglass makers and fixed it up and made his own, better version. Sailors learned about…

People Should Have More Freedom When it Comes to Tanning The use of tanning beds has become a new trend. Although, tanning beds have been around for years, they are just now being more frequently used. People of all ages are partaking in this new trend. The reason why people use tanning beds varies from person to person. No matter why people are using them, they have both positives and negative side effects to their usage. Before participating in the use of tanning beds, make yourself aware…

Galileo Galilei was a famous Italian Polymath. He was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was the oldest of six children. His father was a musician and scholar. Galileo and his family moved to Florence, where Galileo started his education at the Camaldolese monastery in Vallombrosa, in 1574. He was a naturally very intelligent boy. In 1583 he went to the University of Pisa to study medicine not knowing of what his heart would soon desire. He was very very smart and talented. He soon…

You may have thought that the Scientific Revolution and The Enlightenment were the same, but there are several differences.The difference between the two is that The Enlightenment focused on the mental and physical actions and how man related to one another, while The Scientific Revolution concentrated on the physical world and how man related to it. The Scientific Revolution was in the 17th century (1543-1687). In The Scientific Revolution mathematics was key to understanding the nature of…

“You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.” Galileo Galilei made Mathematics and philosophy his profession, against his fathers thoughts that he should go into medicine. He emerged as the scientist who discovered four of jupiters moons. Without Galileo, we probably wouldn't have known that the speed an object falls is not proportional to its weight. Galileo was the oldest of Vincenzo Galileis children. He was sent to the university of piza to study…

For years the Catholic Church has viewed the universe as a place of stars and heavenly perfection. Geocentricity has been acknowledged, as the universe revolves around the Earth. Our opinions of a place beyond our world has been influenced by the theories of ancient writers such as Ptolemy and Aristotle, and our views shan’t be altered! This Aristotelian view of the universe has been widely accepted by both scientists and theologians, though, Galileo Galilei’s observations in Siderius Nuncius,…
