Ptolemy- Ptolemy was the first to write a book on astronomy. He recorded his belief that the Earth was the
center of the universe and everything in the sky traveled around it.

Copernicus- Copernicus believed the Earth and other planets traveled around the sun. He was worried
people would be mad at him, so he waited until just before he died to publish his theory.

Galileo- Galileo Galilei believed Copernicus's theory and wanted to prove it. He used a telescope to study
the night sky and discovered the rings of Saturn, Jupiter's moons, and lots of stars. He founded modern
astronomy.

Hans Lippershey- Hans Lippershey was an eyeglass maker. He built the first telescope in 1608.

planets traveling on their paths instead of spinning off into outer space.

11 mission.
