@import "http://www.unixl.com/test.css"; Find out about? Humanities History History of Technology Astronomy Astronomy History Astronomy is the oldest of the sciences and deals with bodies and scattered matter within the universe. In studying astronomy it looks at the motion, evolution and origin of these bodies and matter. Historically Babylonians were the first to initially explore the concept of astronomy by creating a calendar based on regular astronomical events. However the Greeks have had a big influence in modern Astronomy. Greek astronomer Aristarchus 310-230 BC, was the first to maintain the earth rotated around the sun and that the earth revolved on its axis once every 24 hours. It was dismissed at the time, but centuries later would be proved correct. Also Greek astronomer Ptolemy theory that the universe revolved around the Earth was in use for 1300 years. Disposing of this theory was Polish astronomer Copernicus who assigned the Sun as centre and the planets revolved around it. These ancient studies form the basis for modern Astronomy. An extension of this ancient science is that it was recognised that the celestial bodies physical properties and structure could only be understood through physics and this has led to the introduction of astrophysics.

History of the Warner and Swasey Observatory and Library The astronomical tradition at Case Western Reserve University, then Case School of Applied Science, had its beginning before the foundation of the college itself, when its founder, Leonard Case, Jr., met John Stockwell, a self-educated astronomer. The two collaborated in a number of theoretical investigations concerning the motion of the moon. When the college was organized shortly after the death of Leonard Case, John Stockwell became its first Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy. Research and instruction in astronomy began in the year 1881. About that time, two astronomical enthusiasts, Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey, moved their machine tool firm to Cleveland and began their distinguished careers in the manufacture of precision instruments and large telescopes. Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey They took a great interest in Case School of Applied Science; and when, after some years, they became trustees of the college, it was natural for them to take an interest in improving the astronomical equipment of the college. They encouraged Charles S. Howe, the second professor of astronomy and later president, in his work on the determination of fundamental star positions with the almuncantar. So interested were these two men in the study of the stars that they built and housed a 9.5 inch refracting telescope in a small observatory between their adjoining residences in Cleveland.

UM Home Physics Home Astronomy Home Search Advanced Search History of Astronomy at the University of Mississippi Barnard Observatory Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard . was the University's first "chancellor" (the title was changed from "president" in 1858). In 1856, shortly after his elevation to the presidency, Barnard, the former Chair of Physics and Astronomy convinced the Legislature to appropriate funds to order the largest telescope in the world for the University and to construct an observatory for it on campus. The Department of Physics and Astronomy has occupied Barnard Observatory since its completion in 1859. The large telescope that Barnard had dreamed of was ordered from Alvin Clark & Sons. In January, 1862, when Alvin Clark was testing the telescope he discovered Sirius B, the "white dwarf" companion of Sirius the "dog star". However, due to the outbreak of the Civil War, it was never delivered to the University of Mississippi. Barnard's telescope was subsequently purchased by the Chicago Astronomical Society in 1863, and was given in trust to Northwest University in 1887. That telescope, together with Barnard's collection of physics instruments, would have allowed the University of Mississippi to become the foremost institution in America for the study of physics and astronomy.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy moved to Lewis Hall and the Kennon Observatory in 1939. ( More details Kennon Observatory The Kennon Observatory was completed in 1939. Two copper-roofed domes were included to accommodate two different instruments: a fifteen inch telescope that was purchased in 1893, with co-aligned visual and photographic telescopes, in the bigger dome; the smaller dome originally housed a five inch telescope that had been acquired by F. A. P. Barnard in about 1856. In 1997, the department began refurbishing the smaller dome and the octagonal rooms of the Kennon Observatory. ( More details This page has been viewed 91 times.

ESSENGER set to become the first spacecraft to orbit the planet Mercury ... Astronomy has been practiced for as long as humans have been looking at the sky and wondering what it all means. Early civilizations, for example, Harappans, Mayans, and ancient Chinese used astronomy to keep track of time, orient their cities, and to try to predict the future. Early astronomy was a mix of careful observation of the positions and motions of the heavenly bodies, religion, and astrology. The Greeks named the stars and plotted their positions. While Europe muddled through the Dark Ages, astronomers in the Middle East translated Greek texts into Arabic, preserving and expanding humanity's knowledge of the sky. The real renaissance of astronomy began with Nicholaus Copernicus, who advanced the idea that the Sun is in the center of the Solar System. Armed with the excellent naked-eye observations of Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler formulated his Three Laws of Planetary Motion, which, for the first time, correctly described the way the planets move through the Solar System. Galileo Galilei was the first person to use a telescope to look at celestial bodies (though he did not invent the telescope) and discovered the four brightest moons of Jupiter, proving that there are things in the Solar System that don't revolve around the Sun.
