ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Continuing.. Galileo: The First Modern Scientist Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion Proof of the Earth's Motion

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Galileo: The First Modern Scientist – A legend, of course Scientific “Martyr” at hands of Church Jupiter probe named Galileo Should have been a TMNT Immortalized by Star Trek episode “Galileo 7” But I digress...

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Galileo: The First Modern Scientist – Application of the telescope to the sky Craters/mountains on moon – not “perfect” The Milky Way is not smooth, but OMG, full of stars Planets not points like stars Jupiter has moons – center of its own system – Named the “Galilean Moons” Really KEY: Phases of Venus test of Ptolemaic vs. Copernican systems (as usual see wiki)

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Phases of Venus!!! Model testing...

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Phases of Venus!!! Model testing... Statis Kalyvas

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion – What? Where's Tycho in the text? One frakking paragraph? The best stories are about him. His supernova (how do I get one?). His nose. How he died. Something about a horse... – Kepler got to play with all the data, the fun part...since Tycho did all of his observing before the telescope (even though we just talked about Galileo and his telescope before this, so note the text isn't exactly in historical order strictly speaking...) – Also a bit light on Kepler's mysticism, perfect Greek solids, etc. – But I digress...

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion – Planets travel along ellipses with the sun at one focus.

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Kepler's Second Law of Planetary Motion – “Equal Area in Equal Time”

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion P 2 =Ka 3 where K is a constant, or 1 yr2 AU-3 for the solar system and P is the period, a is the semi-major axis of orbit

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Proofs of Earth's motion – Coriolis Effect Hurricanes Toilets (Not!) Foucault's Pendulum – Going to skip the quantitative part, I think... If you're ok with cross products and such, read Will get it in upper-level mechanics

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Proofs of Earth's motion – Aberration of Starlight Running through the rain with an umbrella Speed of light is high (300,000 km/s), but... Speed of Earth around Sun is 30 km/s Detectable (by Jean “Luc” Picard in 1680)

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Proofs of Earth's motion – Aberration of Starlight Tan theta = theta= v/c Or for 30 km/s and c 20.5 arcseconds, very detectable centuries ago and now, also. Another effect to go into telescope pointing models.

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Proofs of Earth's motion – Stellar Parallax Gold Standard really...predicted for thousands of years, just small because stars so far away... How far away? Simple small angle trig...

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Proofs of Earth's motion – Stellar Parallax: d=1/p or 1/pi in units of arcseconds and parsecs (=3.26 light-years which is 206,265 AUs)

ASTR 2310: Chapter 2 Conclusion about stellar distances: Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. English humorist & science fiction novelist ( )
