Johannes Kepler
Kepler was an assistant to this famous astronomer who put him to work at his observatory and set him to work on the Rudolphine tables.
Who is Tycho Brahe?
Galileo discovered new information that supported this system.
What is the Copernican System? What is Copernicus's system? What is the heliocentric model?
Considered to be the greatest scientist of all time he discovered what three laws and invented what branch of mathematics.
What are the three laws of motion and what is calculus?
This is a fact that was discovered by Galileo that supports the Copernican system states that planets are not this and are instead this, like earth.
What are not pinpoints of light but are Spheres?
This type of telescope uses curved mirrors to reflect the light back into the eye piece. It was invented by Isaac newton as an alternative to the refracting telescope.
What is the Reflecting telescope?
This law of motion describes the path of each planet around the sun is an ellipse, with the sun at one focus.
What is Kepler's first law of motion?
Apart from his work on the heliocentric model of the universe Galileo also created these two ground breaking inventions.
What are the pendulum clock and the thermometer?
This law of motion states that the greater the mass of an object the greater its gravitational force.
What is the third law of motion?
It was discovered by Galileo that Venus has this indicating that it circles the sun. Thus supporting a Copernican system.
What are Phases?
This telescope uses objective lenses send the object back to the eye piece to appear brighter it was invented by Hans Lippershay.
What is the refracting telescope?
In this Law of motion, it is implied that the period of a planet's orbit increases with the radius of the planet's orbit from the sun.
What is Keppler's Third law?
Using his homemade telescope Galileo discovered rings on this planet and the largest moon of this planet?
What are Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moon?
In Newtons' second law of motion gravitational force decreases with this measurable component.
What is distance?
Galileo discovered that this celestial body's surface is not smooth and believed that its dark spots may be seas.
What is the Moon?
This type of telescope provides information from stars galaxies and black holes. An example of this is the green bank telescope.
What is the radio telescope?
In this law, it is revealed that planets travel most rapidly when closest to the sun and most slowly when farther away.
What is Kepler's second law?
Created one of the first ones of these with only a written description to guide him.
What is a telescope?
Which law of motion states that every object (body) in the universe attracts every other object (body) in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to their masses.
What is the first law of motion?
Without this force planets would fly off into space rather than following an elliptical path.
What is gravitational?
Invented by Ricardo Giaconni this telescope provides evidence of black holes and is used in satellite imagery.
What is the Xray Telescope?
This feature of planetary motion describes the path of motion and was discovered by Kepler. It is similar to a circle but instead has two focus points of different length.
What is an Ellipse?
He discovered that this celestial body had dark regions sometimes referred to as this and used it to estimate the celestial body's rotational period.
What are sunspots?
Newton discovered the origin of this created by prisms via hundreds of experiments on light.
What is the spectrum? What is visible light?
Newton discovered gravity by this falling from a tree and hitting his head.
What is an apple?
This telescope was invented first.
What is the refracting telescope?
