  • The Astronomers Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler
    Ice Core Records – From Volcanoes to Supernovas The Astronomers Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler Tycho Brahe (1546-1601, shown at left) was a nobleman from Denmark who made astronomy his life's work because he was so impressed when, as a boy, he saw an eclipse of the Sun take place at exactly the time it was predicted. Tycho's life's work in astronomy consisted of measuring the positions of the stars, planets, Moon, and Sun, every night and day possible, and carefully recording these measurements, year after year. Johannes Kepler (1571-1630, below right) came from a poor German family. He did not have it easy growing Tycho Brahe up. His father was a soldier, who was killed in a war, and his mother (who was once accused of witchcraft) did not treat him well. Kepler was taken out of school when he was a boy so that he could make money for the family by working as a waiter in an inn. As a young man Kepler studied theology and science, and discovered that he liked science better. He became an accomplished mathematician and a persistent and determined calculator. He was driven to find an explanation for order in the universe. He was convinced that the order of the planets and their movement through the sky could be explained through mathematical calculation and careful thinking. Johannes Kepler Tycho wanted to study science so that he could learn how to predict eclipses. He studied mathematics and astronomy in Germany. Then, in 1571, when he was 25, Tycho built his own observatory on an island (the King of Denmark gave him the island and some additional money just for that purpose).

    SIAM REVIEW c 2008 Walter Gautschi Vol. 50, No. 1, pp. 3–33 Leonhard Euler: His Life, the Man, and His Works∗ Walter Gautschi† Abstract. On the occasion of the 300th anniversary (on April 15, 2007) of Euler’s birth, an attempt is made to bring Euler’s genius to the attention of a broad segment of the educated public. The three stations of his life—Basel, St. Petersburg, andBerlin—are sketchedandthe principal works identified in more or less chronological order. To convey a flavor of his work andits impact on modernscience, a few of Euler’s memorable contributions are selected anddiscussedinmore detail. Remarks on Euler’s personality, intellect, andcraftsmanship roundout the presentation. Key words.

Introduction. It is a virtually impossible task to do justice, in a short span of time and space, to the great genius of Leonhard Euler. All we can do, in this lecture, is to bring across some glimpses of Euler’s incredibly voluminous and diverse work, which today fills 74 massive volumes of the Opera omnia (with two more to come). Nine additional volumes of correspondence are planned and have already appeared in part, and about seven volumes of notebooks and diaries still await editing! We begin in section 2 with a brief outline of Euler’s life, going through the three stations of his life: Basel, St.

  • Gravity, Orbital Motion, and Relativity
    Gravity, Orbital Motion,& Relativity Early Astronomy Early Times • As far as we know, humans have always been interested in the motions of objects in the sky. • Not only did early humans navigate by means of the sky, but the motions of objects in the sky predicted the changing of the seasons, etc. • There were many early attempts both to describe and explain the motions of stars and planets in the sky. • All were unsatisfactory, for one reason or another. The Earth-Centered Universe • A geocentric (Earth-centered) solar system is often credited to Ptolemy, an Alexandrian Greek, although the idea is very old. • Ptolemy’s solar system could be made to fit the observational data pretty well, but only by becoming very complicated. Copernicus’ Solar System • The Polish cleric Copernicus proposed a heliocentric (Sun centered) solar system in the 1500’s. Objections to Copernicus How could Earth be moving at enormous speeds when we don’t feel it? . (Copernicus didn’t know about inertia.) Why can’t we detect Earth’s motion against the background stars (stellar parallax)? Copernicus’ model did not fit the observational data very well. Galileo • Galileo Galilei - February15,1564 – January 8, 1642 • Galileo became convinced that Copernicus was correct by observations of the Sun, Venus, and the moons of Jupiter using the newly-invented telescope. • Perhaps Galileo was motivated to understand inertia by his desire to understand and defend Copernicus’ ideas. Orbital Motion Tycho and Kepler • In the late 1500’s, a Danish nobleman named Tycho Brahe set out to make the most accurate measurements of planetary motions to date, in order to validate his own ideas of planetary motion.

Johannes Kepler grew up in an exciting time for scientists. During his lifetime, the way people looked at the heavens was changing. In the old way of understanding the universe, or the solar system as we call it today, the earth was at the center. The planets were believed to (1) around the earth, and the stars never changed. Some scientists pictured the heavens as a series of crystal spheres that turned slowly around the (2) . The planets were fastened to these spheres. and that is how they moved. This was not just the (3) position of that time; it was also the (4) position. The Church taught that the arrangement of the solar system was part of God's plan. God was known as the Prime Mover of the spheres, and Heaven was located in the (5) sphere. This had been the accepted view of the solar system for nearly 2,000 years. In the 1 500s and 1600s, some scientists were beginning to question all or part of this theory. (6) had already stated that the sun, not the earth, was at the center of the solar system. (7) had been condemned by the Church for publishing similar views. Another scientist, Tycho Brahe, had built an observatory and begun to take careful measurements of the objects in the sky. Johannes Kepler went to work for Tycho Brahe as his assistant.

  • The Mass of the Sun
    Name Date The Mass of the Sun Orbits The planets in our Solar System all orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. Most planetary orbits are, however, almost circular. Since the planets are moving in circles they must be experiencing a centripetal acceleration. We know that the centripetal acceleration on an orbiting body (e.g. a planet) is given by: = where r is the distance from the central body (e.g. the Sun), and v is the velocity it is moving at. The centripetal acceleration is caused by the gravitational attraction of the two bodies, which is given by: = where M is the mass of the central body, m is the mass of the orbiting body, and G is Newton’s Gravitational constant and is equal to 6.67 x 10-11 m3 s-2 kg-1 Since the centripetal acceleration is caused by the gravitational force, we use Newton's 2nd law: = Putting the first two equations into the third one we therefore know that: = We can then work out a relationship between the velocity, the mass of the central object, and the orbital radius: = The Mass of the Sun Name Date Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion In 1605 Johannes Kepler wrote down three laws of planetary orbits: 1. The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the Sun at a focus. 2. A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. 3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi- major axis of its orbit.
