revolution of modern science
Copericn(1473-1543)
sun is the centre of the univers
earth is just a planet
moon oribits around the earth
earth is rotated once in24 hours
explained the brightness of the planets
aren't always the same distatance from the earth
retrigrade motion can be explained in terms of geometry
explained the existence of empty space(vacum)
Tyco Braha(1546-1601)
used modern instruments before telescope
observation about Mars helped later
observations about supernova
measured parallax
stars were so fare to measure their parallax
Kepler(1571-1630)
Planets aren't circles but it is flattented circles
defined ellips in terms of distances
3 laws of plantery Motion
the orbits of the planets are ellip, with the sun at one focuse of the ellips
the line joining the planet with to the sun sweeps out=areas in equal timesas the planet travels around the ellips
the ration of the squares of the revolution periods for 2 planets is equal to the rationof cubes of their semimajor axes
Galileo(1564-1642)
correct understanding of how things move on the surface of the earth
first one to use telescope to study the heavens systematically
sun has dark pitchs(sun spots), sun is not perfect
discovered Jupiter's moons
Newton
3 laws of motions
theory of universal gravitation
demonstrae keplr's laws
