Quaestio: Why did the Church try to silence scientific discoveries? Nunc Agenda: Analyze the map of the solar system and try to correctly identify each celestial body
Classical philosophers like Ptolemy and Aristotle believed that Earth was center of universe
The Church accepted and supported this view
Copernicus (Polish Astronomer) realized that the way planets appeared to move in the sky did not make sense with the geocentric model
Developed the heliocentric model to explained why the planets appeared to move as they did
Observations of Brahe and calculations of Kepler further supported Heliocentric model Tycho Brahe Johannes Kepler
Galileo Galilei used a telescope (new invention) to observe four moons in orbit around Jupiter, just like Earth around the Sun!
Roman Inquisition banned books by Galileo and put him on trial for heresy because his discoveries contradicted Church teachings
Classwork: Read about the trial of Galileo, and the letters written between Galileo and Kepler, and answer the corresponding questions
PENSA: Read Chapter 13 Section 5 and complete the reading guide worksheet The Scientific Revolution DUE TOMORROW!
Been there Done that! Aristarchus of Samos (200 BCE) Archimedes, wrote: Aristarchus brought out a book consisting of certain hypotheses. . . . the fixed stars and the Sun remain unmoved, and that the Earth revolves about the Sun in the circumference of a circle, the Sun lying in the middle of the orbit. added that according to Aristarchus in contradiction to the common account of astronomers, the universe is many times larger than generally assumed by astronomers, and the fixed stars are at an enormous distance from the Sun and its planets
Been there Done that! Vedi Sanskrit texts written in ancient India Yajnavalkya (c. 9th 8th century BC) recognized that the Earth is spherical and believed that the Sun was "the centre of the spheres" "The sun is stationed for all time, in the middle of the day. [...] Of the sun, which is always in one and the same place, there is neither setting nor rising." Indian astronomy - Aryabhata (476 550) developed planetary model in which the Earth was taken to be spinning on its axis and the periods of the planets were given with respect to the Sun.
Been there Done that! Islamic Astonomy 9th century Afghan astronomer Ja'far ibn Muhammad Abu Ma'shar al- Balkhi developed a planetary model in which his orbital revolutions of the planets occur only in the heliocentric theory Nicholas of Cusa (1401 1464) German cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church suggested Earth revolved around Sun, and each star a distant sun with its own planets and inhabitants
