Astrology is the belief that the location of the stars and planets on the day you were born determines your personality and your life. Not based on any scientific evidence!

The ancient Greeks were some of the first people to try to explain
why natural events occurred
without reference to supernatural
causes.http://www.thalamus-books.com/books_hunt_living_in_ancient_greece.html

Ptolemy
A.D. 140
Reasoned that the Earth was the center of the universe.

People believed his “geocentric” system for 1500 years.Why: Because visually, it appeared to be correct.

His evidence:*The moon circled the earth.*The sun seemed to circle the earth too.*He concluded that the stars must also.His problem:His problem:*Planet motions would not fit.*This idea is called GEOCENTRIC.

Early astronomers looked for patterns and mathematical relationships.
Astronomers wanted to find evidence to support or reject Ptolemy’s ideas.

PolishAstronomer Mathematician
Early 1500’s

1. Found evidence for the idea of a heliocentric system.
2.Said that the moon revolved around the earth.
3. The earth rotated to cause day and night.
4. The earth revolved around the sun to cause a year.
5. Motions of planets could be explained easily with his system.

Copernicus waited until just before he died to publish his work!Why? Because he knew how upset many people would be about what he said.

Tycho

Tycho Brahe collected quantitative data for many years.
Often he did not see the relationships among his data, but kept it anyway.

1. First to predict that orbits were not circular.
2.Measured length of day to within 1 second.
3. Data later used to prove that the planets orbit the sun.

Kepler was an assistant to Tycho in the late 1500s.
He took Tycho’s years of observations and used math to come up with hislaws of planetary motion.

1. He figured out that planets closer to the sun feel a stronger solar force and therefore have to move faster to overcome the sun’s gravity.
2.He used Tycho’s data to
figure out that the planets’ orbits are not round but are ellipses.

1. Did not invent the telescope but did improve it.
2. One of the first to turn the scope to the sky to study astronomy.3. Saw that there were features
on the moon. Highlands and maria.
4. Discovered sunspots and that they proved the sun was not perfect and actually turned on its axis.

5.Saw 4 moons of Jupiter that looked like a mini solar system.
6.This helped prove that Earth was revolving around the sun.
7. Used experiments to prove and disprove ideas.
8. Saw that Venus went through phases like the moon – indicating change in angle like moon phases.

Inertia - - - -
The tendency of a moving object to continue in a straight line or a stationary object to remain at rest.
![Page 28: History Of Astronomy](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5561d78dd8b42ab33f8b5a69/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Gravity - - - -
The attractive force between objects - the force depends on the mass of the two objects.
