Who discover that the moon went around the earth?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

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.

Answer 10
