Sunspot

Background At night, people always raise head and look at stars. We may all have asked similar questions: are there any planets we can live other than earth? For decades, scientists and astronomers are devoted to these fascinating questions and have done lots of researches. Since the shining stars we can see with our naked eyes on earth are almost fixed stars like our sun, it’s absolutely impossible for life to exist there. Thus in order to search for second earth, the first thing to do is…

Throughout the world, the harvests that had been achieved were defended by the authorities to keep them away from the hungry people in rebellion while prices rose to the stratosphere. No one understood why all these calamities were happening. Great sunspots could be seen that year with the naked eye, and they were blamed. No one imagined that the ashes expelled by the voice Tambora had come so far and were giving those amazing sunsets to heaven. Nobody, until William J. Humphreys, an American…

the telescope. The advancement of the telescope confirmed Copernicus' theory on the heliocentric view of the universe. Through the use of his telescope, he was also able to look at the moon, observe a supernova, verify the phases of Venus, discover sunspots, and discovered that the moons and the planets were not perfectly round. The new discoveries became controversial, especially when Galileo proved the heliocentric theory. In 1616, the Catholic Church announced that Copernicus' theory of the…

is that the four biggest moons of Jupiter were discovered by Galileo. Now the moons are called Galilean moons after the person who discovered them. Also from the same writer Nola Taylor Redd, “He was the first to see craters on the moon, discover sunspots and track the phases of venus. The rings of saturn puzzled him(Nola Taylor Redd).” This quote proves that galileo made important contributions to our knowledge of the solar system. Which inspired other people to do the…

Garret Griggs 11/20/14 ESS 102 Section AB Sci-Fi Paper The Long Nap The last thing I remembered was the sight of the needle entering my skin. It was hardly an irregular sight—I’d witnessed the process performed on my colleagues during training many times before. The needle enters, the serum flows, their faces relax. The HIT, a serum containing the molecule necessary for induced human hibernation, slows their breathing, until finally, each muscle in their body settles like grains of sand…

it was unknown how to stop this prolonged depression. Not until bright, young pupil out of King’s College, Cambridge would publish his ideas to stop a economic depression. Going against the theories of other economists which used the effects of sunspots or mental disorders of the economy, Keynes claimed that people saving their money results in depression and used the elevator concept to explain the business cycle and prolonged depressions. To solve the problem, he said that the government needs…

fields of astronomy, physics, and philosophy, he was a talented author, lute player, and painter as well. He played a major role in the scientific revolution, making many discoveries including the phases of Venus, Jupiter’s moons, as well as observing sunspots. Additionally, he was an advocate of heliocentrism, or the view that the Sun is the center of the Universe, which was very controversial at the time and got him into a good deal of trouble. Without a doubt, Galileo was one of the most…

allowed him to lead to many discoveries. These discovers which where the first to have set eyes on by Galileo. These discoveries where the four satellites of Jupiter, and also the observation of a supernova, verify the phases of Venus, and discover sunspots. These discoveries proved the Copernican system which states that the earth and other planets revolve around the sun. Prior to the Copernican system, it was held that the universe was geocentric, meaning the sun revolved around the…

. Galileo invented the the telescope in 1609 and 1610 he made some great discoveries. For example the milky way was one of his great discoveries and it Stated that “the milky way is made up of of innumerable stars”(Rauindra). Also he discovered sunspots as well as the phases of Venus. Not only do the say he was a man of lots of intelligence about space but also…

It was a warm June day in Rome. Francesco Niccolini, a Tuscan ambassador, and Galileo Galilei, an aging mathematician, sat in the Villa Medici awaiting their call to the Holy Office. It had been months since the beginning of his trial with the Roman Inquisition and Galileo was ready to be finished with the ordeal. He had been ill since the first session of his interrogation back in April and his condition had continued to worsen. Niccolini had already been informed of the old man’s sentence,…
