Historical Astronomers in Context
Isaac Newton is one of the most important scientists in history. Although he lived during the late 17th century, his work has impacted the fields of mathematics, physics, and astronomy of today’s world. His notable accomplishments include the establishment of modern Physics, and the discovery of both the gravitational force and the three Universal Laws […]

Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton (25 December 1642-20 March 1727) was an English physicist and astronomer. He made significant contributions to the world of science by detailing the laws of motion and created the first reflecting telescope. He also further proved the heliocentric theory by using Kepler’s laws with his mathematical principles of gravity and removed the little doubt that still…

Sir Isaac Newton’s World
Sir Isaac Newton was born Christmas day, December 25, 1642 in the small hamlet of Woolsthorpe in the county of Lincolnshire in the English countryside. He lived a full 84 years, in which he revolutionized our fundamental understanding of the universe by discovering his Law’s of Motion, Law of Gravity, and laws of Optics; as … Continue reading Sir Isaac Newton’s World →

Historical Astronomers in Context: Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton (December 25, 1642 – March 20, 1727) spent some time working on gravitation and how it affects the orbits of planets. He eventually published the Principia Mathematica, which introduced Newton’s law of universal gravitation, i.e. In September 1666, when Newton was 23 and attending Trinity College, Cambridge (in England), the Great Fire of London…

Isaac Newton (1642-1726) was the first to accurately describe gravity and motion. More specifically, he developed three laws of motion that identified a). objects stay in motion until acted upon; b). the relationship between Force, Mass, and Acceleration; and c). every actionary force has an equal and opposite reactionary force. The British Enlightenment took place […]

Sir Isaac Newton (25 December 1642-20 March 1727) was important to astronomy for a few reasons. He helped invent calculus, which helped define calculations for the movements of planets and different formulas, as well as being the first to discover the law of gravity. This was pretty important to astronomy, as it explains why planets […]
