What else can I help you with?
What do you call the place for making astronomical observations?
An observatory.
What was the astronomical canon about?
The astronomical canon was a compilation of mathematical tables and astronomical data used for making astronomical calculations and observations. It helped astronomers accurately predict the positions of celestial bodies in the sky.
What were the principle contributions of Copernicus to the developing model of the solar system?
Copernicus was the first to show, in a systematic and mathematical way, that a helio-centric solar system made astronomical observations easier to understand. Ptolemy's system worked (well, sort of) in explaining what we see, but it was incredibly complicated.
Do satellites have anything to do with astronomy?
Yes, there are telescopes aboard many satellites that perform astronomical observations.

Did Galileo's observations confirm the validity of retrograde motion of the planets?
No, Ptolemy did.
