Galileo Galilei

Galileo Galilei,
an Italian used his "optic tube" telescope. to look
into the night time sky to see things never observed before. Kepler
developed mathematical models to explain motion, which helped to allow
humans to predict what is going on. Galileo's inquiry on motion would
be used by Sir Isaac Newton to uncover more mysteries of the
Universe. Newton's law of motion would take astronomy to a new
scientific level.
Let’s take a tour of the Solar
System, just our little corner of the Universe. We are still learning
new and exciting facts about each planet, as scientists from around
the world search for understanding each of the planets. |
