When did Jost Burgi make the clock?
Jost Burgi invented the clock in 1577 with the help of his partner Tycho Brahe.
What attempts did north and the south make to compromise?
They made the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850.
What is the US Offer in Compromise program about?
The US offer in Compromise program is about helping distressed tax payers help deal with their liabilities by paying a portion of their debt. They analyze each application to make sure each person is worthy of a compromise.
What would be a good compromise?
A good compromise for the Proclamation of 1763 that can satisfy the King and the colonists is to make a better proclamation and/or trade to get bigger lands, like barter trading.
Why do negotiating parties make compromise?
To agree or to settle a dispute that is reached by each side making concession's.
When did Tycho Brahe make his observations?
Tycho's main work was done at the end of the 1500s and into the 1600s.
When did Jost Burgi make the clock?
Jost Burgi invented the clock in 1577 with the help of his partner Tycho Brahe.
What did Brahe do in the late 1500s?
Tycho Brahe made major contributions to the field of astronomy with his observations of planetary motion and inventions of astronomical instruments to make those observations. The data he collected ultimately contributed to supporting the heliocentric theory of the solar system - which he didn't believe in. Further details and facts on Brahe can be found at the related link below.
What were the names of Johannes Kepler's peers?
Kepler's "running mate" would have to be Tycho Brahe. It was Brahe whose work (observations) Kepler used as a springboard to think about the motions of the planets and what mechanism could make them appear to do the things they did.
What were tycho brahe's hobbies?
Galileo used to love to invent things and draw, and usually Galileo's dad will make him play the lute and was also intrested in knowing about the space myths
What contributions did Tycho Brahe make towards science?
He surprisingly made an accurate positional measurement of the brighter stars in the sky without the help of a telescope. He did this through a very important step in the scientific method: repeating your work.
Why was Tycho Brahe interested in observing planets?
Mainly to make accurate horoscopes. As it was typical for his days you could be a serious scientist and superstitious at the same time. He is famous for making a birth horoscope for the prince who later became Chr IV - it contained some quite goods predictions.
How did tycho brahes work contribute to the development of the heliocentric model?
Danish astronomer Tycho/Tyge Brahe (1546-1601) is immensely important for two reasons: Observing and measuring the (rough) distance to a Supernova, thereby proving that the firmament was not a god-given stable sphere, but a dynamic system. Making the most accurate measurements of planetary positions available at that time and for a long time thereafter. Brahe data was used by Kepler to develop his laws.
What is the main difference Kepler system and the Copernicus system?
Both systems have the Sun at the centre, but Copernicus stuck to the ancient model of circles and epicycles to explain the planets' orbits. Kepler on the other hand used new measurements by Tycho Brahe to suggest, after a lot of detailed calculations, that the planets move in elliptical orbits. The difference between an ellipse and a circular orbit with an epicycle is extremely small in the case of planetary orbits which have a low eccentricity factor. It was not until Tycho came along that measurements of sufficient accuracy were available for Kepler to make his discovery. Later the elliptical orbits were explained theoretically, after the discovery of the law of gravity and the laws of motion. This eventually led to Kepler's theory being generally accepted as right, which it still is.
What Italian astronomer made improvements to the telescope that help prove Copernicus heliocentric theory?
Galileo was the first scientist to use a telescope to make discoveries about the Sun, Moon and planets. His discoveries raised serious doubts about the ancient Ptolemaic theory in which the Earth is at the centre of the Universe. Copernicus's theory of 1543 places the Sun at the centre instead. It explains some of the things that the Ptolemaic theory fails to explain, like the full range of Venus's phases that Galielo discovered. Galileo reasoned that this must prove that Copernicus's theory is right. However Galileo was wrong about this because Tycho Brahe's model explains the phases of Venus correctly yet still has the Earth at the centre. In the end, all these theories were rejected when Johannes Kepler produced his new theory in which the planets travel in elliptical orbits. It was generally accepted later, after Newton's discoveries showed theoretically that the planets must move in elliptical orbits under the force of gravity. However, Kepler's theory did have the Sun at the centre, so in one respect Copernicus was right.
