From CClassical Times, Sumerians, Egyptians, Greek, Romans, observed the sky. However, teh yall thought the Earth was the centre of the Universe. They saw the planets (and stars ; Sun and Moon included) moving in a regular order.
However the polish astronomer Coperincus, calculated that the system helio-centric ( The Sun at the centre) in 1543.A.D.
This was confirmed by Galileo, who made astronomic observations.
At the time it caused great consternation in the Church . Galileo was 'locked-up' for heresy.
They all agreed on the given planetary alignment of the then known planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Uranus was discoveredd in 1781, by Sir William Herschel, and 'outside' the other planets
Neptune was discoveredd in 1840, by Johann Galle, Urbain le Verrier John Couch Adams, and 'outside' the other planets
Pluto was discoveredd in 1930 , by Clyde W Tombaugh and 'outside' the all other planets
Nomenclature; from Classical Greek mythology.
Uranus, The God of the Sky,
Neptune ; The God of the Sea
Pluto ; The God of the Underworld.
What else can I help you with?
What will happen at another planetary alignment with jupiters 62 moons?
During a planetary alignment involving Jupiter and its 62 moons, there will be gravitational interactions among the moons that could lead to changes in their orbits and possibly create resonances or collisions. These alignments provide scientists with opportunities to study the moons' interactions and dynamics in more detail. The alignment itself won't significantly impact Earth due to the vast distances involved.
What was the first planetary moon to be discovered?
Earth's moon would have been the first moon discovered. Galileo observations identified four of Jupiter's moons - Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto - in 1610.
When was the last time all of the planets come close to alignment?
All the planets in our solar system never truly align perfectly due to the varying orbits and speeds at which they travel. The closest they come to alignment is known as planetary alignment, and the last time a rough alignment occurred was in 2010, but a perfect alignment is extremely rare.
What effect did the 1982 planet line up have on us?
The planetary alignment in 1982 did not have any significant impact on Earth or us. Planetary alignments occur regularly and do not cause any noticeable effects on our planet. Any claims or predictions related to this event are not scientifically supported.
When was the last planetary aligment?
The last significant planetary alignment occurred in 2000, when Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were all lined up. Since then, there have been smaller alignments between some planets, but not a major alignment involving multiple planets like in 2000.
How astronomers can predict planetary alignment?
How can astronomers predict planetary alignment
Will there be a planetary alignment in 2012?
No, there isn't going to be any alignment in 2012.
Can astronomers predict planetary alignment?
Uh... yeah
What is the term used if the all planets form a straight line?
Its called the catastrophic alignment or planetary alignment
Who discovered the planetary motion?
Johannes Kepler
How does planetary alignment potentially influence the occurrence of earthquakes?
Planetary alignment may potentially influence earthquakes through gravitational forces. When planets align, their combined gravitational pull on Earth can create stress on tectonic plates, potentially triggering earthquakes. However, the direct link between planetary alignment and earthquakes is still a topic of debate among scientists.
Who discovered the shape or the planetary orbit?
Johannes Kepler
Who discovered the idea of planetary motion?
Johannes Kepler
Who discovered laws of planetary motion?
Johannes Kepler
Does planetary alignment affect earth?
Planetary alignment has minimal direct effects on Earth. While the gravitational influence of planets can have some impact, such as on tides, these effects are negligible compared to those caused by the Moon and Sun. Additionally, any perceived influence from planetary alignments in terms of astrology lacks scientific support. Overall, planetary alignments do not significantly affect Earth's environment or events.
What happens during planet alignment?
There is no great event that would occur with a planet alignment. Scientists actually believe a planetary alignment could never occur because of the different planes of the planets.
Who was the german astronomer that discovered the laws of planetary motion?
Keplar.
