A famous German astronomer who made contributions to astronomy, despite lacking formal university education.

Women achieved notable scientific discoveries in Germany, especially astronomy, despite limitations on education.

Social barriers—lack of university access and degrees—hindered women's advancement during that period.

An English aristocrat who contributed to scientific philosophy, despite not having formal scientific training.

A period of significant advancements in science, involving new theories and methods.

Ideas that changed the modern worldview by suggesting a unified machine-like universe governed by natural laws.

Training grounds for future astronomers, often run by family members, particularly in Germany and other parts of the world.

Margaret Cavendish's contributions, a key concept in the advancement of the field.

Galen's anatomical descriptions were based on animal dissections, leading to many inaccuracies when applied to humans.

Vesalius, through human dissections at the University of Padua, accurately described human organs and structure, correcting many of Galen's errors.

William Harvey proved the heart, not the liver, was the center of blood circulation, and that blood flows through veins and arteries in a complete circuit.

Microscopes allowed scientists to study living matter at a cellular level and discover microorganisms.

English scientist Robert Hooke used the microscope to discover cells, furthering the understanding of living organisms' structure.

A philosophy emphasizing reason as the primary source of knowledge, contrasting with reliance on tradition or observation.

A systematic approach to acquiring knowledge about the natural world through observation, experimentation, and inductive reasoning.

Reasoning that moves from specific observations to broad generalizations.

The principle describing the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas, at a constant temperature.

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force called gravity. This force depends on the objects' masses and the distance between them.

Newton's ideas presented a universe as a giant, orderly machine operating according to predictable natural laws. It influenced the modern worldview.

Newton's concepts shifted the understanding of the universe from a chaotic, unpredictable place to a regulated, orderly system.

Many women became astronomers in Germany during the 17th century, but faced limitations due to their lack of formal university education.
