Our understanding of the universe has changed a lot over time!
Ptolemy
He improved on Aristotle's theory which was that the earth was the center of the universe also known as geocentric.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Copernicus had a theory that the sun was the center of our solar system. This is also known as heliocentric.
Tycho Brahe
His work supported the idea that the Earth orbited the sun.
Brahe hired Kepler, another astronomer to work with him.
How has our understanding of the universe changed over time?

Edmund Halley
Edwin Hubble
By Isamilla & Nelleke
The Hubble space telescope was named after Edwin Hubble.
He had three laws of motion.
He hypothosized that the nebulae were their own galaxies.
<span>He imagined the earth at the </span>
center of the universe with the sun, the moon, the stars and the planets orbiting it in perfect circles.
Newton put Kepler and Galileo's ideas together and discovered that the reason that things fall on the ground is the same reason that planets orbit around the sun.
He made a telescope that could magnify
up to 30 times.
<span>He discovered that Copernicus' theory </span>
was true. "We're not the center of the universe."
He found out that the planets orbit the
sun in ellipses (oval shapes).
He explained how the tides were made by the moon.
He figured out that the speed of the planets depend on the sun.
Halley discovered a comet. It was discovered in 1705. It will come around again in 2061
The comet Halley comes every 75 - 76 years

Yaya says:
IQ Scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. What percentage of IQ scores are between 70 and 130?
<span>Solution: </span>130 – 100 = 30 which is 2(15). Thus, 130 is 2 standard deviations to the right of the mean. 100 – 70 = 30 which is 2(15). Thus, 70 is 2 standard deviations to the left of the mean. Since 70 to 130 is within 2 standard deviations of the mean, we know that <span>about 95% of the IQ scores would be between 70 and 130.</span>
Slender and scrawny. "Slender" connotes grace and desirability, while "scrawny" connotes weakness and unhealthiness. ("Thin" is sort of in the middle as it could be either just "having little flesh" to "having too little flesh".)
