Greek Astronomy The Revival of an Ancient Science One of the most powerful creations of Greek science was the mathematical astronomy created by Hipparchus in the second century B.C. and given final form by Ptolemy in the second century A.D. Ptolemy's work was known in the Middle Ages through imperfect Latin versions. In fifteenth-century Italy, however, it was brought back to life. George Trebizond, a Cretan emigre in the curia, produced a new translation and commentary. These proved imperfect and aroused much heated criticism. But a German astronomer, Johannes Regiomontanus, a protege of the brilliant Greek churchman Cardinal Bessarion, came to Italy with his patron, learned Greek, and produced a full-scale "Epitome" of Ptolemy's work from which most astronomers learned their art for the next century and more. Copernicus was only one of the celebrities of the Scientific Revolution whose work rested in large part on the study of ancient science carried out in fifteenth-century Italy.

At the House of Knowledge founded in Baghdad by the Abbasid caliph Mamun, scientists translated many texts from Sanskrit, Pahlavi or Old Persian, Greek and Syriac into Arabic, notably the great Sanskrit astronomical tables and Ptolemy's astronomical treatise, the Almagest . Muslim astronomers accepted the geometrical structure of the universe expounded by Ptolemy, in which the earth rests motionless near the center of a series of eight spheres, which encompass it, but then faced the problem of reconciling the theoretical model with Aristotelian physics and physical realities derived from observation.

It briefly equals the brilliance of the brightest star, Sirius; both shine gloriously after 8:00 p.m., with ruddy Mars high and blue Sirius much lower. By the end of the month, Mars has lost half its light. Saturn, bright but not dazzling in Leo, rises around 8:30 p.m. Mercury hovers next to the thin crescent Moon on the 9th and is best seen about 40 minutes after sunset from the 12th to the 28th, about 10 degrees high in the southwest.

Basics Series: What You Need To Know About Astronomy There are different definitions of Astronomy. Some define it as a branch of science dedicated to the study of the motions and natures of celestial bodies, like planets, stars, and galaxies. Others say it is the study of objects and matter outside the earth's atmosphere and of their physical and chemical properties. Still others would say it is the study of everything, because it's a study of the universe and everything is part of the universe. All three definitions are accurate, but however you define it, there are many fields within Astronomy. Cosmologists study the Universe as a whole, including its beginnings. Astrometrists measure great distances. Planetologists study planets within our own Solar System as well as those orbiting distant stars. Radio Astronomers use radio-telescopes to study the Universe. There are also Mathematical Astronomers who use numbers, calculations and statistics to explain the universe.

AN  ASTRONOMY  COURSE  FOR  STUDENTS  USING  THE  INTERNET Save the Milky Way Could this puppy's name be Sun spot ? And why is she here in a page about astronomy? Hmmm, this sounds like a big CONUNDRUM! Be sure to click on the word "conundrum" before you continue, to find out how the definition applies to the present situation. Continue through my page, and perhaps you'll find other Spotty puppies. ASTRONOMY. Even the word conjures up wondrous images in your mind. Images of distant galaxies, maybe, or exploding stars, or comets, meteors, stars, constellations, telescopes, or maybe even your own memories of a night under a truly dark sky where the universe seemed to glow with "billions" of stars. Whatever image the word astronomy creates in your mind, the subject of astronomy has captured the interest and attention of virtually every human on the planet since humans were able to look up. What follows is a course on astronomy using the Internet. It is adaptable to most age and interest levels. Each of the units in the course are listed below in the Table of Contents, and each unit has its own separate "page." I hope you will enjoy using the course and will come back again and again as I make changes and additions to it. Because of the nature of the Internet, there is no guarantee that all the hyperlinks enclosed in my web pages will work all the time. Thanks for your patience.
