    Modern astronomy began in the 20th century with new technologies like photography, satellites, and rockets. Five key scientists contributed important discoveries: Nicolaus Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton. Tycho Brahe made accurate observations and invented instruments as a Danish astronomer. Kepler was a German mathematician and astronomer known for his laws of planetary motion based on Tycho's data, including that planets orbit the sun in ellipses.

    MODERN ASTRONOMY
    WHAT IS MODERN
    ASTRONOMY
    The modern era of astronomy began in
    the twentieth century. Photography,
    electricity, rocket power and satellite
    technology would go on to change the
    way people observed the Universe
    forever, enabling them to make even
    more discoveries and uncover more
    mysteries about the many objects in
    space.

    Five noted scientists made important


    discoveries that give rise to birth of
    modern astronomy; Nicolaus Copernicus,
    Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galileo
    Galilei, and Isaac Newton
    02 PART
    SCIENTISTS
    Tycho Brahe was a Danish
    astronomer and nobleman who
    made accurate observation of
    celestial bodies in an observatory
    built for him by King Fredrick II of
    Denmark in 1567. He was able to
    invent different astronomical
    instruments, with help of his
    assistant.
    TYCHO BRAHE
    A German astronomer, mathematician,
    astrologer, natural philosopher and writer
    on music.He is a key figure in the 17th-
    century Scientific Revolution, best known
    for his laws of planetary motion, and his
    books Astronomia nova, Harmonice
    Mundi, and Epitome Astronomiae
    Copernicanae, influencing among others
    Isaac Newton, providing one of the
    foundations for his theory of universal
    gravitation. The variety and impact of his
    work made Kepler one of the founders and
    fathers of modern astronomy, the scientific
    method, natural and modern science.

    JOHANNES KEPLER
    Brahe and Kepler
    Work
    n Astronomie Nova (1609),Kepler
    presented extensive research on the
    orbit of Mars. Using Tycho Brahe's
    observational data, Kepler was able to
    fine tune the movements of the planets
    and demonstrate
    . that the movement of
    Mars could be described as an ellipse.
    Kepler's first law stated that
    planets orbit the sun in the
    shape of an ellipse. The sun
    was located at one of the
    ellipse's two foci. The planets
    orbited along the path of the
    ellipse with both their distance
    from the sun and their velocity
    constantly changing. This is
    also sometimes known as the
    . law of ellipses

    Law of Ellipses
    Law of Equal Areas

    Kepler's Law of equal areas for


    equal times. As a planet moves in an
    orbit about the Sun, the areas swept
    out by the planet are equal for
    equal time intervals. A: For circular
    orbits the equal areas are identical
    in shape and size (red areas).
    Law of Harmonies

    WHAT IS MODERN
    ASTRONOMY

    Kepler's law of harmonies goes like this. The square of the period of a star
    orbiting around the sun and the cube of the long radius are proportional to
    each other. Because Earth, Jupiter, and Halley's Comet orbit the sun, he
    found that they have the same value.
