Historical Astronomers in Context
Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was a revolutionary figure in the field of astronomy, and science in general. Newton expanded upon the ideas of Galileo by identifying the force of gravity, and subsequently formulating the law of gravitation. Along with the law of gravitation, he introduced the three laws of motion. Other contributions to astronomy include observing … Continue reading Historical Astronomers in Context → Continue reading
Contextualizing Historical Astronomers
Sir Isaac Newton- Born: 12/25/1642, Died: 3/20/1726 Isaac Newton is regarded by many as the father of modern science. Not only did he come up with his three laws of physics, but he also invented calculus as he was trying to understand the orbital paths of comets he was observing. The application … Continue reading Contextualizing Historical Astronomers → Continue reading

Newton: the Father of Modern Physics and Astronomy
Sir Isaac Newton lived from January 4, 1643 to March 31, 1727. He is commonly hailed as the father of classical mechanics and one of the most influential scientists and mathematicians of all time. Beyond developing calculus, which serves as the infrastructure for modern astronomy, he discovered the fundamental laws that govern bodies of terrestrial and astronomical … Continue reading Newton: the Father of Modern Physics and Astronomy → Continue reading

Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 and died on March 31, 1727. Isaac Newton is best known for his work on gravity. More specifically, he founded Newton’s Law of Gravitation. This formula states that the force of gravity between two objects is dependent on the massiveness of the two objects and the distance between … Continue reading Historical Astronomers in Context → Continue reading
Newton in Context
Isaac Newton (Jan. 4, 1643 until Mar. 31, 1727) was an extremely important physicist and mathematician. Newton’s first major stride in his fields came in 1668, when he created the first reflecting telescope. His next major, and arguably most influential, work came in 1687 in the form of his book Principia. Principia is often called … Continue reading Newton in Context → Continue reading

Considered one of the most influential scientists in history, Sir Isaac Newton was an English Physicist and mathematician whose three laws of motions revolutionized physics. Newton went on to develop his law of universal gravitation which states “that any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the […]

The astronomer I’ve picked is Sir Isaac Newton (Born January 4, 1643 – Died March 31, 1727). Newton made discoveries that both directly indirectly impacted astronomy. First, directly, Newton published the universal law of gravitation in The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, in 1687. This law stated that the force of attraction between two objects […]

Isaac Newton (Jan 4, 1643 – Mar 31, 1727) Accomplishments Isaac Newton’s big contribution to Astronomy was the development of the Three Laws of Motion that applied to how everything in this universe moved. He developed the three laws after examining fellow astronomer, Johannes Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion. The laws include: “An object at […]
