After Newton graduated from college, he returned to his family’s farm. But he continued to study and do
experiments on his own. His first great discovery came from his experiments with light. He found that when
white light passes through a prism, or triangular piece of glass, it breaks up into a band of colors. Newton
concluded that white light is a mixture of colors.
Newton also wanted to know what keeps the Moon in its orbit, or path, around Earth. He thought that
only an attraction, or pull, between Earth and the Moon could explain it. This pull was called gravity.
Newton’s work showed how gravity controls the motion of the planets around the sun as well as the motion of
the Moon. As he studied gravity and motion, Newton also made important contributions to mathematics.
From 1669 to 1701 Newton was a professor at Cambridge. In 1703 he was elected president of a major
scientific group called the Royal Society. In 1705 the queen of England made him a knight. Newton died in
London, England, on March 20 (March 31 according to the modern calendar), 1727.
My name is Isaac Newton. I was born on December 25, 1642
(January 4, 1643, according to the modern calendar), in Wools Thorpe,
England. My father was a farmer. He died before I was born. I was raised
by my grandmother.
In 1661 I enrolled at Cambridge University. There I became
interested in new scientific ideas that were coming out of Europe. They
included the idea that Earth and the other planets travel around the sun.
This idea challenged the long-held belief that Earth was the center of the
universe.
