Study Notes
- A new model must align with the Two-Domains view of the Universe.
- Earth is the absolute center of the Universe.
- Celestial domains differ fundamentally from terrestrial domains.
- Celestial domain consists of ether as a perfect substance.
- Physics of motion in the celestial domain involves perfect circular motion at a constant speed.
- The Ptolemaic model became cumbersome due to the addition of new epicycles for accurate celestial object position measurements.
- While adaptable, the Ptolemaic model is too complex to be useful.
- No other model matched the Ptolemaic system's accuracy in predicting celestial events.
- Tycho Brahe made observations without telescopes:
- Supernova explosion on Nov. 11, 1572 ("Nova Stella," now SN 1572).
- Comet in 1577.
- Collected better and more reliable data sets.
- Tycho Brahe:
- Danish nobleman, astronomer, and writer.
- Known for accurate and comprehensive astronomical observations.
- Also an astrologer and alchemist.
