A. INTRODUCTION
focusing on the teacher’s instruction, and selecting a conducive
space to study, among others.

PYTHAGOREANS
By the 4th century BCE, this idea combined with the concept of a
geocentric universe to create the cosmological system that most
Greeks subscribed to.
According to Plato, the Earth was a sphere and the stationary center of
the universe. The stars and planets were carried around the Earth on
spheres or circles, arranged in the order of distance from the center.

GALILEO GALILEI
He found convincing evidence in favor of the Copernican model.
Venus had phases, just like the moon, when only half, or just a
crescent, of it would be lit -- which is what would happen if Venus
orbited the sun.
JOHANNES KEPLER
Kepler’s conclusions about the universe were
aligned with Copernicus’ model that had the six
known planets orbiting the Sun (heliocentric).
Conclusion:
Copernicus was correct about some things, but wrong about others.
The Sun is not in the center of the universe, and it does move, as do
the stars. Also, both Copernicus and Ptolemy thought the orbits of the
planets were circular, but we now know they are elliptical.
MODERN ASTRONOMY
Kepler's third law - compares the orbital period and radius of orbit of a
planet to those of other planets. The third law makes a comparison
between the motion characteristics of different planets.
KEPLER’S CONSTANT:
• The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite and the fifth largest
moon in the solar system.
• The Moon’s presence helps stabilize our planet’s wobble and
moderate our climate.
• The Moon’s distance from Earth is about 240,000 miles
(385,000km).
• The Moon has a very thin atmosphere called an exosphere.
• The Moon’s surface is cratered and pitted from comet and
asteroid impacts.
NEW MOON
A new moon appears only when
the moon is on the side of the
earth most directly in line with the
sun. There is no illumination on
the earth’s side, so it is also
sometimes called the dark moon.
FIRST QUARTER
Half the side of the moon facing the earth
appears illuminated. It rises about noon,
reaches its high point for the day at sundown,
and sets near midnight.
FULL MOON
The whole side of the moon is now illuminated to
viewers from the earth. The full moon rises in the
east as the sun sets in the west.
