Astronomy Demystified - Ruturaj Atre

Astronomy – the oldest science The origin of physics 1. The earth is round 2. Planets revolve around the Sun 3. The physics governing the motion of the moon around the earth is the same as that for an apple falling from a tree Humans have always been a curious specie. We hardly wonder how these simple facts about the universe were discovered.

How did we know that the earth is round?

The Dark of the Moon. Why not so dark? Earthshine Light reflected from the surface of the earth onto the moon

Blue Moon vs Red Moon

The retrograde loops of Mars

Any theory should explain the following things: Why is retrograde motion seen for exterior planets alone? How do you explain this abnormal motion? What can you conclude from these observations? Geocentric model or heliocentric model

The geocentric model

Heliocentric model can explain the retrograde loops Kepler studied these retrograde loops to derive his three famous laws

Botticelli’s painting. Who is he depicting?

Venus! The morning or evening star

Phases of Venus

Venus in the DaVinci Code “The planet Venus traces a perfect pentacle across the ecliptic sky every eight years.”

Astronomical evidence for Mahabharat! 1.Conjunction of Saturn with Aldebaran 2.Retrograde motion of Mars just before it reaches Antares 3.A lunar eclipse near Pleiades (Krittika) 4.Followed by a solar eclipse

A lot of questions have been answered. A lot more remain to be answered. 1.The search for exoplanets and extra terrestrial life 2.What happened before the big bang 3.What is the future of our universe 4.What is dark matter and dark energy 5.Can Mars habitat human life 6.Radio astronomy and many many more!
