Tycho Brahe
1609
Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630), a student of Tycho Brahe, publishes Astronomia Nova (New Astronomy), which contain his first two laws of planetary motion. Kepler's first law assumes that Mars has an elliptical orbit, which was a revolutionary idea at the time. Until then, the classical belief held that a circle was perfect, and therefore all orbits must be circular.
1609
Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) observes Mars with a primitive telescope, becoming the first person to use it for astronomical purposes.
1659
The Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens (1629 - 1695) draws Mars using an advanced telescope of his own design. He records a large, dark spot on Mars, probably Syrtis Major. He notices that the spot returns to the same position at the same time the next day, and calculates that Mars has a 24 hour period.
1666
Giovanni Cassini (1625 - 1712) observes Mars and determines that the rotational period, or length of one Mars day is 24h, 40m.
1672
Huygens is the first to notice a white spot at the south pole, probably the southern polar cap.
1698
Huygens publishes Cosmotheros, which discusses what is required of a planet to support life, and speculates about intelligent extraterrestrials. This is one of the first published expositions of extraterrestrial life.

The Trial of Galileo
The 1600s were not an easy time in which to study science. The church was a powerful institution and had its own ideas about the nature of the universe. Galileo was a beliver in the Copernican theory that the solar system revolves around the sun. He was advised by Cardinal Bellarmino to be cautious and not to imply the the Copernican theory were real. He published a book, Siderius Nuncius (Starry Messenger) which was considered controversial and in opposition with the ideas of the Roman Catholic Church, and was arrested and tried in the Inquisition. Galileo was found guilty of heresy and was sentenced to life imprisonment and forced to recant. In secret, he wrote another book, which was smuggled out of the country and published in France. His work is now considered the foundation of modern physics.

Explanation:
Answer:El Colegio Electoral es el cuerpo de compromisarios electos encargado de elegir al presidente y al vicepresidente de los Estados Unidos. Desde 1964 el Colegio Electoral tiene 538 electores.1El colegio electoral de cada estado emite su voto el primer lunes siguiente al segundo miércoles de diciembre, y las dos cámaras del Congreso cuentan y verifican oficialmente los resultados definitivos la primera semana de enero. El colegio electoral es un ejemplo de elección indirecta.
En lugar de votar directamente al presidente y vicepresidente, los ciudadanos de Estados Unidos emiten sus votos para los electores. Los electores son técnicamente libres de votar a favor de cualquier persona elegible para ser presidente, pero en la práctica se comprometen a votar por candidatos específicos.2 Los votantes emiten sus votos a favor de los candidatos presidenciales y vicepresidenciales al votar por los electores correspondiente a prometer su voto.3La mayoría de los estados permiten a los votantes elegir entre las listas de electores del estado que se comprometieron a votar a favor del candidato presidencial y vicepresidencial de varios partidos; el candidato que recibe la mayoría de los votos del estado 'gana' todos los votos emitidos por los electores de ese estado. Las campañas presidenciales estadounidenses se concentran en ganar el voto popular en una combinación de los Estados que opten por una mayoría de los electores, en lugar de hacer campaña para ganar el mayor número de votos a nivel nacional.
