Galileo

Galileo discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter (later named the Galilean moons), mountains and craters on the moon, phases of Venus, and sunspots on the sun. These observations supported the heliocentric model of the solar system and challenged the geocentric view of the universe.

The first car, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, was invented by Karl Benz in 1885 and took several years to develop. Benz filed the patent for the Motorwagen in January 1886, and it was officially unveiled later that year after further testing and refinements.

No one "discovered" the Earth, but among the first to map both hemispheres was Amerigo Vespucci (1454- 1512) an Italian cartographer, from whose name "America" was derived. The first Europeans to circumnavigate the Earth were on the crew of Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521), a Portugese explorer who died during the voyage.

People from Galilee are called Galileans.

John Dee was born in 1527 and was an astronomer and a mathematician as well as an astrologer and an occultist. His greatest contribution to science was in the field of navigation, where he pioneered some of the star navigation techniques that were used by sailors for many years.

Galileo Galilei's father was Vincenzo Galilei (c. 1520-1591) and his mother was Giulia Ammannati (c. 1538-1620).

Anti-Catholics often cite the Galileo case as an example of the Church refusing to abandon outdated or incorrect teaching, and clinging to a "tradition." They fail to realize that the judges who presided over Galileo's case were not the only people who held to a geocentric view of the universe. It was the received view among scientists at the time. Centuries earlier, Aristotle had refuted heliocentricity, and by Galileo's time, nearly every major thinker subscribed to a geocentric view. Copernicus refrained from publishing his heliocentric theory for some time, not out of fear of censure from the Church, but out of fear of ridicule from his colleagues. Many people wrongly believe Galileo proved heliocentricity. He could not answer the strongest argument against it, which had been made nearly two thousand years earlier by Aristotle: If heliocentrism were true, then there would be observable parallax shifts in the stars' positions as the earth moved in its orbit around the sun. However, given the technology of Galileo's time, no such shifts in their positions could be observed. It would require more sensitive measuring equipment than was available in Galileo's day to document the existence of these shifts, given the stars' great distance. Until then, the available evidence suggested that the stars were fixed in their positions relative to the earth, and, thus, that the earth and the stars were not moving in space-only the sun, moon, and planets were. Thus Galileo did not prove the theory by the Aristotelian standards of science in his day. In his Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina and other documents, Galileo claimed that the Copernican theory had the "sensible demonstrations" needed according to Aristotelian science, but most knew that such demonstrations were not yet forthcoming. Most astronomers in that day were not convinced of the great distance of the stars that the Copernican theory required to account for the absence of observable parallax shifts. This is one of the main reasons why the respected astronomer Tycho Brahe refused to adopt Copernicus fully. Galileo could have safely proposed heliocentricity as a theory or a method to more simply account for the planets' motions. His problem arose when he stopped proposing it as a scientific theory and began proclaiming it as truth, though there was no conclusive proof of it at the time. Even so, Galileo would not have been in so much trouble if he had chosen to stay within the realm of science and out of the realm of theology. But, despite his friends' warnings, he insisted on moving the debate onto theological grounds. When the church shut him down ,

He had to look elsewhere for idea's.

Then he turned to earlyer scientists from rome.

In very general terms, the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century reflected humanistic ideas insofar as it strongly emphasized the importance of individual experience, thought, and conviction in Christianity. Quite unlike much of what had come before, in previous centuries of Christian practice and spirituality, the fiery refusal of Martin Luther to betray his conscience out of loyalty to the truth reflects a new birth (or, perhaps more accurately, rebirth) of individuality in Western Civilization.

Boys can get erections, commonly known as "boners," due to increased blood flow to the penis, which is a normal response to physical or psychological arousal. Hormones such as testosterone also play a role in initiating and regulating erections.

Code 54 on a 1992 Plymouth Voyager indicates a problem with the engine's camshaft position sensor or circuit. This could lead to issues with the engine's timing and performance. It is recommended to have the sensor and circuit inspected and repaired by a qualified mechanic.

The distance between them would increase because, as you stated, "the first object is always going faster." But why does the first object fall faster? The formula for velocity is pretty simple: Vf = V0 + at, where a, in this case, is the acceleration due to gravity (and V0 is zero). Therefore, the greater the value of time, t, the greater an object's velocity.

there are little glass bubbles filled with a colored liquid, usually food coloring and water. each little bubble has a weight attached with the temperature engraved into it. all these bubbles are about the same density as water, and as the temperature changes, the bubbles float and sink. the bubble that sinks to the bottom is the current temperature.

The temperature-dependent property that a Galileo thermometer makes use OS is the density of liquid. The thermometer contains several sets of spheres and tags. Each of the sets has a specific density. Since the density of the liquid in the thermometer varies with temperature, spheres with densities lower float while the others sink at a certain temperature. Thus, the tag on the lowest floating sphere tells us the temperature.

Yes one can reach greater than mach one in free fall from the stratosphere. Acceleration of gravity is about 32 ft. /sec^^2 and barring atmospheric resistance one would reach mach 1 about 34.375 seconds after release after having traveled about 19000 ft. A frenchman named Michel Fournier plans to attempt a mach 1+ jump in late may 2008. He will jump from a weather balloon at about 131,000 ft. and he intends to reach a maximum speed of 1,113 mph before increasing air resistance halts his acceleration and begins slowing him down. The plan is to pass through mach 1 about 37 seconds after jumping. His free fall plan is about 6.5 minutes with a total jump time of 8.5 minutes. If successful he will be the first skydiver to exceed mach 1 and also break the free fall skydiving time record. http://www.legrandsaut.org/index.php?lang=eng These calculations are for a human in free fall, which has a terminal velocity of only about 120 mph in freefall near sea level. This much greater speed is possible because of much less air resistance at high altitude. The impact air pressure felt by him as he falls will be the same as a normal skydiver in free fall from a much lower altitude would feel. A streamlined object dropped from 131,000 ft. could exceed the expected speed of the skydiver considerably because of much less air resistance allowing a greater time for acceleration and a higher terminal velocity.

Early scientists believed that the Earth was flat, based on observations and theories available at the time. It wasn't until later advancements in science, such as the observations of celestial bodies and exploration of new lands, that the understanding of the Earth's shape evolved to being round.

He improved the recently invented telescope to see into space, he discovered Jupiter's moons and Saturn's rings. He observed how Jupiter's moons orbited around it and this convinced him that the Copernicus's Heliocentric model (model of planets orbiting around the sun rather than the earth) was correct.

Galileo published these ideas and was put on trial for supporting the heliocentric models and going against the Roman Catholic Church's beliefs. He avoided execution but spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to propose a heliocentric model of the solar system in the 16th century, which placed the Sun at the center with planets orbiting around it. Galileo Galilei supported Copernicus's ideas and used his observations through a telescope to provide further evidence for this model in the early 17th century.

Galileo was famous for inventing the thermometer, perfecting the telescope and for experimenting with gravity and pendulums (which influenced Newton's laws of motion).

He also dropped all Aristotelian talk of WHY things moved, and thought more about HOW things move, through painstaking observations and measurements. Galileo also thought of things such as time, distance, and acceleration to describe how things move.

His observations supported the heliocentric (Sun-centered) solar system as proposed by Copernicus. Advocating this theory led to his trial for heresy against the church, for which he was placed under house arrest for the final years of his life.

On a Mercury Mountaineer, the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) can typically be found on the driver's side of the dashboard near the windshield, on the driver's side doorjamb, or on the vehicle's registration and insurance documents. Additionally, the VIN may also be located on the engine block or various parts of the vehicle for identification.

There is no single person who is credited with the discovery of Jupiter. Jupiter is one of the five planets that can be seen in the night sky without using a telescope or binoculars. The planet Jupiter has been known since ancient times and was observed for thousands of years by the people of many different cultures. Galileo was the first to observe Jupiter with a telescope, as Jupiter can be seen with the naked eye, the ancients probably the ones who discovered it. Jupiter can be seen from planet earth, so it is hard to tell who actually saw it first!

We will never know when Jupiter was discovered. As it can be the third brightest thing in the night sky, it must have been known to the ancients. It's impossible to know. It's always been visible in the sky to the naked eye as long as man is known to have existed. The planet Jupiter is easily visible to the unaided human eye at night. As such it has been known to man since ancient times and therefore there is no attributed discoverer. The discoverer of Jupiter is not known since it visible with the naked eye. The fact that it is a planet and not a star was known in ancient times by the Chinese and Arabic astronomers. They were called 'wanderers' because they did not stay fixed like stars.

It will never be known who discovered Jupiter. It has certainly been known since historical times and it would certainly have been seen by the earliest of humans as they looked up into the skies.

Galileo Galilei is one of the most famous astronomers in history. One of his major accomplishments was the improvements he made to the telescope. Galileo is known for greatly advancing the scientific revolution.

In the 1930s, major astronomical discoveries included the discovery of Pluto in 1930, the identification of the first Quasar in 1932, and the discovery of the first interstellar molecules in space in 1935. Additionally, the concept of an expanding universe was also proposed during this decade.

The bulb thermometer--the common glass type--is filled with a fluid such as mercury. The liquid changes its volume relative to its temperature, moving up and down the tube as it heats up or cools down. The mercury takes up less space when it is cold and more when it is hot.

An outdoor thermometer measures the temperatures of the surrounding air and is usually affixed to the sides of houses or decks to give an exact reading of the temperature in the immediate area. The bulb of the thermometer--the common glass type--is filled with a fluid such as mercury. The liquid changes its volume relative to its temperature, moving up and down the tube as it heats up or cools down. The mercury takes up less space when it is cold and more when it is hot.

Galileo Galilei might advise young people to always question, observe, and experiment for themselves instead of blindly accepting established beliefs. He would likely stress the importance of perseverance, dedication, and curiosity in scientific pursuits, and encourage them to challenge conventional thinking in order to make new discoveries.
