Ptolemy created his theory on why the plantets revolve around Earth. This is important because it inspired other scientists to try and see if this is correct or not. It was proven wrong later on.

Ptolemy created the first world globe in 147 A.D. This is important because this gave scientists a picture image of what the world may look like.

In 150 A.D, Ptolemy created the theory, Pi, 3.14. This gave scientists and mathmations the circumfrence of a circle to use for other math equations later on. This could be used to find out the cicumfrance of any circle, including the Earth.

1514 Nicholas Copernicus wrote the centric hypothesis meaning he dicoverd that the sun is in the center of the universe. LA
-
Compericus wrote a study about the value of money. LA
-
This was his first observation, and this event started his career as an astronaumer. MGB
-
He was talented at building and at science. The observatory also benifited other scientists. MGB
-
This was one of his most important observations. Many scientists could not find them back then. MGB
-
Since he observed the Great Comet of 1577, he discovered comets and other objects like comets above Earth's atmosphere. This event further improved his career. MGB

Galileo Galilei invented the pump that raises water and is driven by horses.AGL
-
This helped other scientist reasearch and improve the field of science. MGB

In this year Kepler was the first to suggest that the sun rotates about it axis in "Astromia Nova".The Astromia Nova was a book that Johannes Kepler wrote about his 10 year long study of the motion of Mars.

Galileio improved telescope by increasing the lenses. This helped scientists to see farther so they could see the stars and the planets.AGL
-
Galilei discovered the first four moons of Jupiter; Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.AGL
-
In this year Johannes Kepler helped Galileo create the telescope by creating the lens.The lens is a very important part of the telescope.When light passes through the objective lens,it is refracted.Then the light and the focal plane get at a certain angle.That is why we can see so far with a telescope.

In this year all 3 laws of planetary motion were published. These laws decribe the motion of the planets around the sun.

When white light goes through a prism it creates a rainbow. JGM

Isaac newton discoverd gravity because an apple fell on his head in 1677! JGM

Isaac Newton discoverd the three laws of motion in 1687! The first law is an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion. The second law states that the more force an object has the more it accelerates. The third law is there is an equal and opposite reaction to every action. JGM
