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.
Historical Perspective...
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.
<em><u>The right to call witnesses is a procedural right protected by the Bill of Rights.
</u></em>
Further Explanations:
Bill of Rights establishes the “First Ten Amendments” of the Constitution and guarantees personal freedom and rights and at the same time limits the administrative jurisdiction over lawful and other legal disputes. The 14th amendments of the Constitution include the citizenship clause, Equal Protection Clause, Due process Clause and immunities and Privileges Clause.
Due process clause was introduced to bind all the federations to follow legal rights announced by the Federal government. It balances the influence of the law on individual and safeguards individuals from it. Sometimes the clause are also restricting legal proceeding, so to authorize Judges to define the fundamental justice, liberty, and fairness of the individuals. Its interpretation is also useful in the case of natural and procedural justice. The procedural right included in the bill of Rights authorizes a citizen to call the witness in the court and should also be made aware of the witness.

Explanation:
Tet was launched in January 30th 1968, Tet being the Chinese New Year.
The attack was a complete surprise. The guard of the South Vietnamese army was lowered by Tet celebrations. Moreover the Vietcong and NVA switched their offensive from the countryside to the cities, which again took the South Vietnamese and Americans by surprise.
The fact that the Vietcong could get right inside the American embassy in Saigon emphasized the surprise nature of the attack.
Tet was actually a military defeat for the communists as they sustained massive losses. However psychologically it was a massive victory for them. Widespread coverage of the raging battles in cities such as Saigon and Hue on American televisions every night, swayed public opinion against the war, as the images suggested the Vietcong could go anywhere, and so it suggested the US was losing the war.
