Historical Astronomers in Context
Johannes Kepler (December 27, 1571- November 15, 1630), summarized his discoveries with three physical principles. First, the planets move in elliptical orbits, but not perfect circles, with the Sun at one focus. Second, he argued that the time necessary to traverse any arc of a planetary orbit is proportional to the area of the sector between … Continue reading Historical Astronomers in Context → Continue reading

The speed of light, which is actually the highest speed that light can reach, has to be in a vacuum. In other cases, light actually slows down as it passes through different media. For instance, … Continue reading Some facts about the speed of light → Continue reading
