How many books did Copernicus write?

Copernicus wrote one major book called "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), which was published in 1543. This work outlined his heliocentric theory that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun.


Has there ever been a child author?

Yes, the youngest was Dorothy Straight who wrote 'How the world began' in 1962, age 4.


What books did Galileo write?

Galileo wrote several important books, including "Sidereus Nuncius" ("Starry Messenger"), "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems," and "Discourses and Mathematical Demonstrations Concerning Two New Sciences." These works were significant in the fields of astronomy, physics, and mathematics, and greatly influenced the scientific revolution.


Did Galileo write any books?

Yes, Galileo wrote several books, including "Sidereus Nuncius" (Starry Messenger) and "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems". These works were instrumental in advancing his theories on heliocentrism and the nature of the universe.


How are Galileo Newton and Aristotle alike?

Copernicus believed that the sun was the center of the solar system (maybe even the universe) and wrote a book about it, but was so afraid of the Catholic Church that he would not allow it to be published until he was near death. Galileo also believed the sun was the center of the solar system, and proved that everything did not revolve about the earth by observing the moons of Jupiter (still referred to as Galilean moons) and seeing that they revolved around Jupiter. He wrote a book on his discoveries and was threatened by the Catholic Church and was forced to recant his beliefs. He was placed under 'house arrest' by the Church for the last 9 years of his life. In 1969 the Catholic Church issued an apology to Galileo. Kepler took many years observations of Tycho Brahe and showed that the planets did not revolve about the Sun in circles, but in ellipses. He also developed 2 other laws about the planets changing speed as the distance from the sun changed as they moved in their elliptical orbit, and about equal areas swept by a line from the planet to the sun in equal time intervals. Newton used mathematics and his law of universal gravitation to prove Kepler's Laws of Planetary motion were correct.
