The first Italian astronomer to observe the moon through a telescope was Galileo galilei although he was not the first person to observe the moon through a telescope. That would be Thomas Harriot, an englishman who performed the task four months before Galileo.
It's astronomer, fyi. The first sentient being, man or otherwise, to look up and notice the difference between the night sky from one to the next would be you first. Probably the first "person" to actually study, record and investigate was probably Chinese, Greek, Mayan, Aztec, Egyptian or a few others.
From ancient times, people assumed the Moon went around the Earth. Of course, those same people figured EVERYTHING went around the Earth; in the case of the Moon, they happened to be correct.
Technically, the Moon does not go around the Earth, but the Earth and the Moon both go around the barycenterof the Earth-Moon system. As the Earth is 81 times as massive as the Moon, the barycenter is inside the Earth, so the difference is slight.
No one I am aware of ever thought the earth orbited the moon. The ancient Greeks knew the moon orbited the earth--that is obvious with the lunar phases and eclipses. They even measured the distance to the moon (circa 400 BCE) in earth diameters (60), but it would take another 2 centuries for Eratosthenes to actually measure the earth.
Aristarchus was one of the first to think the earth orbited the sun.
Over 300 years ago Sir Isaac newton developed a theory called "The Equilibrium Theory of Tides."
He theorized that, every object exerts a pull on every other object. As the moon pulls on Earth water moves towards it, this is high tide.

The earliest definitive hypothesis of a heliocentric (sun at the centre) universe was proposed by Aristarchus of Samos in c.270BC, but there had been suggestions of this prior to Aristarchus by followers of Pythagoras and in some ancient Indian texts. The latter two should be noted as being quite sketchy, and perhaps inspired more by religion than scientific motives. Copernicus is credited with reviving and reinventing this theory in the Western world in the 16th century.
probaly someone else that is not a very smart scientist but that's not true the truth is the Earth oribts the Sun while the Moon orbits the Earth
I think the first astronomer to see mountains on the moon was the Italian, Galileo Galilei, in 1609. He was using the newly-invented telescope.
galileo, hes the one who had the telescope
Anaxagoras didn't discover anything but he was the second person in history to suggest that the earth and all of the other planets went around the sun.
He did not discover the planet Jupiter. He only used his telescope to see its four largest moons. The planet is and always has been visible to the naked eye and was known to people since ancient times.
It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.
In the early days of the solar system about 4.6 billion years ago the Earth had grown from gas particles and asteroid impacts into a molten ball of rock. Fortunately for us (it is thought that life wouldn't have evolved if it wasn't for the moon) a large body probably the size of Mars came along and collided with the newly forming Earth. This added mass to the Earth but also threw off lots of fragments that went into orbit around the Earth. These fragments over millions of years collided and stuck to each other and eventually formed a smaller ball of Rocky magma which when cooled turned into the moon.
Armstrong traveled with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Aldrin went with Armstrong to the lunar surface. Collins remained in the command module in orbit around the moon.
no one discovered the moon...you can see it from anywhere on earth (just about)
Yes.
Anaxagoras didn't discover anything but he was the second person in history to suggest that the earth and all of the other planets went around the sun.
that the earth went round the sun
They proved it when they went to the moon they saw the earth shinning. They then understood that the moon reflects the light from the earth

365.24 days on the average ... exactly the same as the earth. If the moon went around the sun the least bit faster or slower than the earth does, then over the millions of years that this has been going on, the moon would have pulled way ahead of the earth, or lagged way behind. The fact that we still see it so close to earth is a good proof that on the average, the moon exactly matches the earth's motion around the sun.
The things i discovered in space wasthatthe moon is very rough!!
The moon was thought to have formed 4.527 billion years ago, when a large planetoid the size of mars collided with the earth, as the solar system was still in its infancy. The remains of this impact went into orbit around the Earth, forming into the moon we have today.
Mae Jemison never went to the moon. She did however orbit the Earth 12 September 1992.
No. Well, sort of, except that the days and nights are each two weeks long. Because the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, the same face of the Moon always points at the Earth. The far side of the Moon had never been seen until the first Soviet space probes went around the Moon taking pictures, back in the late 1950's. Anyway, the Moon takes 29 days to go around the Earth, and that means that one Lunar "day" is the same thing as an Earth-MONTH.
