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.
