Many students gone here and there. You are going to have to do a lot on your own to get caught back up. Hopefully, this website will help.

- Poor Tycho.

- Red marker shows Tycho’s island
-
- Tycho built the castle and observatory Uraniborg on Hven in 1576 (with a laboratory for his alchemical experiments in its cellar) and then Stjerneborg nearby in 1581. Unusual for the time, Tycho established Uraniborg as a research centre, where almost 100 students and artisans worked from 1576 to 1597.[

- The separate Observatory on the island of Hven.

- Tycho’s view of our solar system.
-
- SO what is the slope of this line?
-
- Even my AP Physics girls started to wear down in late April. HANG IN THERE! It will be VERY worth it to you.

- Mar’s apparent Retrograde motion if you are using the Ptolemic system. This required early 16th century Ptolemic astronomers to add epicycles (circles within circles) to planet’s orbits.
-
- THe true reason (using Kepler’s system) why Mar’s appears to have retrograde motion.

- Kepler’s geometric shapes within shapes which laid out the distances from each planet to the sun.

- The Harmony of the Sphere’s. Kepler’s attempt at making sense of the solar system and homage to God’s beautiful design.

- Kepler’s museum in Prague. Not nearly impressive as it should be considering he changed mankind’s view of the solar system.

- Kepler meme.
-
- The Kepler telescope is launched in 2009.
-
- The Kepler observatory is “specifically designed to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover dozens of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone and determine how many of the billions of stars in our galaxy have such planets”.[7] A photometer continually monitors the brightness of over 145,000 main sequence stars in a fixed field of view.[8] This data is transmitted to Earth, then analyzed to detect periodic dimming caused by extrasolar planets that cross in front of their host star. It’s already found almost 3000 candidates.

- Kepler’s view.

- SOme of the 30-00 candidates.

- A little help on a homework problem.
