Europa i is the sixth closest moon of the planet Jupiter‚ and the smallest of its four Galilean satellites‚ but still one of the largest moons in the Solar System. Europa was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei[1]and possibly independently by Simon Marius around the same time. Progressively more in-depth observation of Europa has occurred over the centuries by Earth-bound telescopes‚ and by space probe flybys starting in the 1970s. Slightly smaller than Earth’s Moon‚ Europa is primarily made of silicate rock

term Scientific Revolution refers to a period in the 17th century when the intellects of Europe had a revolution. This was an illustrious time for science and the initiation of modern science. During that period famous people such as Copernicus‚ Galileo‚ Kepler‚ and Isaac Newton all lived and contributed greatly to many areas of science. Just about that time period these people changed the viewpoint of our universe from geocentric (the earth at the center) to heliocentric (the sun at the center)

In the 1500’s and 1600’s‚ some startling discoveries radically changed the way Europeans viewed how and why things happened in the physical world. Three scientists who contributed to these changed were Nicolaus Copernicus‚ Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton. These scientist changed some beliefs of which many had been believed for all of time. For almost all of time‚ the geocentric theory was believed to be true. This theory suggested that all planets revolved around the Earth. In 1543‚ Polish scholar

The emergence of the scientific revolution was brought about by several intellectuals; Copernicus‚ Galilei‚ Kepler‚ Brahe and Newton. First we have Nicholas Copernicus. He studied both math and astronomy. After studying Ptolemy’s works‚ he challenged the Ptolemaic Conception of the universe. This stated that the earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus

Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564– 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist‚ mathematician‚ astronomer‚ and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations and support for Copernicanism. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy"‚ the "father of modern physics"‚ the "father of science"‚ and "the Father of Modern Science”. His contributions to observational

mirrors and invented the telescope (Dolan 21). Galileo Galilei caught on with the idea of refracting mirrors and published his findings in The Starry Messenger in March 1610 (MacLachlan 45). When his teachings taught that the moon’s surface had mountains and valleys‚ implying that the moon was not a perfect sphere‚ it stirred things up and started a domino effect of discoveries to be made about the sky for hundreds of years to come. Galileo Galilei was not planning to change the view of the universe

I am writing this letter because I believe that galileo’s heliocentric model is correct. And I am asking you to pardon galileo for his scientific writing on the heliocentric model of the solar system. I believe that the geocentric model is not right because the earth is not the center of the universe‚ but the heliocentric is because the sun is the center of the universe and I know that because I have been collecting shreds of evidence. Those pieces of evidence are the Copernican Revolution‚ Galileo’s
