What we know about the Universe
![Page 2: What we know about the Universe. A celestial body is a natural object out in space such as a planet, a moon, an asteroid, a comet, or a star. People.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56649e4e5503460f94b45504/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
A celestial body is a natural object out in space such as a planet, a moon, an asteroid, a comet, or a star.
People made note of the movement of the celestial bodies.
People would use celestial bodies the measure the passage of time

Patterns of stars in the skyThe people told stories of kings and
queens, heroes and villains, animals and mythical creatures, and put them in the sky.
Characters from Greek and Roman mythology make up most of the constellations we use today

The sun appears to move across the ecliptic due to the earth movement around the sun
The moon also moves across the sky following the ecliptic on 28 day cycle.

the planets revolve around the Sun
they move at different rates along the ecliptic.
Mercury and Venus are close to the Sun ( seen in the at dawn or dusk)
Outer planets can be seen at all times throughout the night

comets can orbit in different planes.
Different periods
Haley ‘s comet every 75-76 years (1986 to 2061)
Comet Hale-Bopp comes every 2520-2533 years ( 1997- 4527)

The are constellations only visible in the winter.
The are constellations only visible in the summer.
Orion is a winter constellation
Gemini is a summer constellation

Aristotle (383–322 B.C.E.)
A geocentric universe has Earth at the centre and the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars revolving around it
![Page 16: What we know about the Universe. A celestial body is a natural object out in space such as a planet, a moon, an asteroid, a comet, or a star. People.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56649e4e5503460f94b45504/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ptolemy (83–168 C.E.) Aristotle’s model did not
explain all the observed motions
ie. Retrograde motion . A planet appearing to move backwards in the sky for a short time because we pass the planet on the inside.
Ptolemy envisioned each planet not attached directly to its sphere,but attached to an off-centre wheel, which rotated as the sphere turned.

Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543),
Copernicus’ model of a heliocentric universe set the stage for other scientists to better understand the universe and to propose their own theories based on his model.

Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
First person to turn a small telescope toward the heavens
He observed craters on the Moon
spots on the Sun four “stars” orbiting the
planet Jupiter (the moons of Jupiter)
Galileo reasoned that Venus could only have phases if it orbitedthe Sun

Johannes Kepler (1571–1630)
He could describe the motions of the planets more accurately using new technologies to make very accurate observations, then analyzing the data using mathematics.
Kepler developed three laws of planetary motion

Sir Isaac Newton (1643–1727)
the most influential scientist who ever lived
developed three laws to describe and predict motion (Laws of motion)
the first to show mathematically that the force of gravity extends far beyond the surface of Earth (Law of Gravitation)
These same laws govern the motion of stars throughout the Milky Way galaxy.

Sun, Moon, and stars. Measured angles in the sky
