Ptolemy,
Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, & Galileo
For centuries people believed
the earth was the center of the universe and all the planets and stars
revolved around us. This month we take a look back at the astronomical
contributions of the "Giants" that helped to change our thinking
about our celestial surroundings. We'll learn what important discovery
each brought to astronomical table and also why many of these discoveries
were originally rejected.
