- Claudius Ptolemy, an Egyptian geographer, mathematician, and astronomer, is credited with the Ptolemaic Model of the solar system. His model posited not only that the Earth was the center of the entire universe and assumed that the planets all moved in epicycles--small circles--that also moved along….

Erasmus Reinhold His publications on astronomy include a commentary (1542, 1553) on Georg Purbach's Theoricae novae planetarum. Reinhold knew about Copernicus and his heliocentric ideas prior to the publication of De revolutionibis and made a favourable reference to him in his commentary on Purbach.

Closest Planetary System Hosts Two Asteroid Belts For reference, our own asteroid belt lies at about 3 astronomical units from the sun, and Uranus is roughly 19 astronomical units away. One of the two possible planets previously identified around Epsilon Eridani, called Epsilon Eridani b, was discovered in 2000. The planet is thought to orbit at an average distance of 3.4 astronomical units from the star -- just outside the innermost asteroid belt identified by Spitzer. This is the first time that an asteroid belt and a planet beyond our solar system have been found in a similar arrangement as our asteroid belt and Jupiter. Some researchers had reported that Epsilon Eridani b orbits in an exaggerated ellipse ranging between 1 and 5 astronomical units, but this means the planet would cross, and quickly disrupt, the newfound asteroid belt.

How Do We Know the Earth Orbits the Sun? * Ptolemy develops a geocentric model that has the planets moving around the Earth. However, in order to account for retrograde motion, he put the planets on circles that move in circles. * Copernicus suggests a heliocentric model. His model has the planets moving around the Sun in circular orbits.

- ● The radius is the average radius of the orbit. ○ When Kepler did his original calculations he assumed a circular orbit in his calculations, even though this went against his own First Law. ○ Today we take the distance of the semi-major axis of the ellipse as the average radius of the orbit.

Astronomy: precession of earth Astronomy: precession of earth The phenomenon we call precession was discovered by Greek astronomer Hipparchus when he compared his own circa 200 BC records with older charts. What he saw was that the equinoxes in his day (where the sun's path crosses the celestial equator) were in a different position among the stars than the 150-year-old comparison charts showed. This is due to a gyroscopic wobble of earth's spin axis that takes 26000 years to complete. In this wobble motion, the tilt of the earth stays roughly constant at 23.4 degrees but the orientation is always changing. One consequence of precession is that the north star Polaris is drifting.

Nicolaus Copernicus Biography for Kids Space Navigation. Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer, mathematician, translator, artist, and physicist among other things. He is best known as the first astronomer to posit the idea of a heliocentric solar system—a system in which the planets and planetary objects orbit the sun. His book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium, is often thought of as the most important book ever published in the field of astronomy.

- Earth's Rotation Proved. 8 January 1851. Elvis Presley was born on the 8 January 1935. On 8 January 1851, using a device known as Foucault's pendulum, Frenchman Léon Foucault demonstrated that the Earth rotates on its axis. He discovered that if a long pendulum with a heavy weight was set swinging, the plane in which it was swinging would appear to rotate.

Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. In the sixteenth century, most people believed in the ideas of the ancient astronomer Ptolemy, that the planets, Moon, and Sun all orbited around the Earth. Then in 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the idea that the planets and the Earth orbited around the Sun.

Claudius Ptolemy In the Almagest, Ptolemy wrote of his mathematical studies regarding the motions of the planets, the sun and the moon. He presented the so-called geocentric theory, which stated that the earth was the center of the solar system, and that the other planets and the sun revolved around it.

Who Devised the Laws of Planetary Motion? Johannes Kepler! Here, then are Kepler's Three Laws of Planetary Motion: Kepler's first law states all planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus and the other focus empty. Applied to Earth satellites, the center of the Earth becomes one focus, with the other focus empty. For circular orbits, the two foci coincide.

Ptolemy Ptolemy's model: Earth-centered, or geocentric. Ptolemy thought that all celestial objects — including the planets, Sun, Moon, and stars — orbited Earth. Earth, in the center of the universe, did not move at all. NOTE: The outer planets, like Uranus and Neptune, are missing from both charts because they had not been discovered at the time.

General Astronomy/Print version Kepler's Laws. Johannes Kepler, working with data painstakingly collected by Tycho Brahe without the aid of a telescope, developed three laws which described the motion of the planets across the sky. 1. The Law of Orbits: All planets move in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one focus. 2. The Law of Areas: A line that connects a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. 3. The Law of Periods: The square of the period of any planet is proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of its orbit. Kepler's laws were derived for orbits around the sun, but they apply to satellite orbits as well. Index Gravity concepts

Kepler's laws of planetary motion In astronomy, Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing the motion of planets around the Sun. Figure 1: Illustration of Kepler's three laws with two planetary orbits. (1) The orbits are ellipses, with focal points ƒ 1 and ƒ 2 for the first planet and ƒ 1 and ƒ 3 for the second planet. The Sun is placed in focal point ƒ 1.

Kepler's laws of planetary motion In astronomy, Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing the motion of planets around the Sun.he eccentricities of the orbits of those planets known to Copernicus and Kepler are small, so the foregoing rules give good approximations of planetary motion; but Kepler's laws fit the observations better than Copernicus's.

- His theory gave a simple and elegant explanation of the retrograde motions of the planets (the annual motion of the Earth necessarily projected onto the motions of the planets in geocentric astronomy) and settled the order of the planets (which had been a convention in Ptolemy's work) definitively.
