Historical Astronomers in Context
I chose to learn more about Isaac Newton! He was born on December 25th, 1642 and died on March 31st, 1727. Isaac Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation that helped explain the force that determines the motion of celestial bodies. Newton established the three laws of motion, the law of inertia, the law of […] Continue reading
