    THE UNIVERSE
    As the totality of everything that exists, including all matter and energy,
    the planets, stars, galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space.
    CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY
    Ptolemy is most famous for his contribution to astronomy, which is in his 13-book work
    called the Almagest.
    The Ptolemaic system of astronomy placed the Earth at the center of the universe and explained
    all the observed motions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars with a system of uniform circular
    motions.
    Ptolemy borrowed heavily from the previous work of Hipparchus.
    The Ptolemaic astronomical system was wrong, but it was a good enough scientific model to last
    over 1400 years until the time of Copernicus.
    ARISTARCHUS OF SAMOS
    Aristarchus (310 BC -230 BC) was a famous Greek mathematician and astronomer,
    popular for his theories regarding the heliocentricity of our solar system.
    He was the first to say that the Sun, and not the Earth, was the center of our universe. This theory
    brought him ridicule during his lifetime.
    Aristarchus was one of the first astronomers to calculate the relative sizes of the Sun, the Moon
    and the Earth.
    NICOLAS COPERNICUS
    The Universe was Earth centered. His theory answered the fact that the planets sizes
    were different throughout the year and the fact that the orbits of the planets were irregular now
    and then would be explained. He wrote his theory in a book, De Revolutionibus Orbium
    Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres)
    GALILEO GALILEI
    In 1609, instrument put together by a lens-grinder in Holland, he constructed the first
    complete astronomical telescope.
    Galileo discovered that the moon, shining with reflected light, had an uneven, mountainous
    surface and that the Milky Way was made up of numerous separate stars.
    In 1610 he discovered the four largest satellites of Jupiter, the first satellites of a planet other
    than Earth to be detected. He observed and studied the oval shape of Saturn (the limitations of
    his telescope prevented the resolving of Saturn's rings), the phases of Venus, and the spots on the
    sun. His investigations confirmed his acceptance of the Copernican theory of the solar system;
    but he did not openly declare a doctrine so opposed to accepted beliefs until 1613, when he
    issued a work on sunspots.

    ISAAC NEWTON
    Gravity, Newtons other great contribution, is one of the four fundamental forces in the
    universe.
    Because of Galileos work, Newton knew that an object fell to the Earth at a rate of about
    9.8 meters (32 feet) per second. Thus the apple [that] fell from the tree fell to the Earth at
    about this rate.
