Side Note:

Hipparchus and Ptolemy are not

actually on the time line because

there is no way to scale all the way

from 190 BC to 1930 AD and make it look not cluttered I apologize for that.

Ancient Astronomers Timeline

William Herschel (November 15, 1738)

Galileo Galilei (Febuary 15, 1564)

Robert Wilson (April 16, 1927)

Hipparchus (190 BC)

Nicolaus Copernicus

Discovered the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, which is the explosive radiation left after the Big Bang.

Sir Robert Wilson was the son of a miner, who studied physics in Durham. He was an astronomer who embraced the opportunities provided by the space age.

First to put forward the Heliocentric Solar System

Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who was the first person to put forward the idea of a solar system model in which all of the planets would orbit around the sun instead of the Earth.

Observed binary system of stars, discovered 800 binary star systems, 2400 nebulas discovered, Discovered Uranus and 2 of its moons

William Herschel was a British astronomer and mathematician who constructed his own telescope and was the first to describe our solar systems movement in the Universe.

Father of modern observational astronomy, First to lay eyes on the rings of Saturn, Named various moons of Jupiter, First to observe sunspots, and backed the Heliocentric solar system.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician who became a major part of the scientific revolution during the European Renaissance.

Greatest astronomer of antiquity, Founding father of astronomy, Best known for his catalog of stars use by Ptolemy, Measured distance to the moon during a solar eclipse.

Hipparchus of Nicaea was a Greek astronomer, geographer, and mathematician born in 190 BC. He is known as the founder of Trigonometry and Astronomy.

Created catalog of comets, galaxies, and nebulas. Discovered 13 comets.

Charles Messier was a French astronomer most noted for publishing an astronomical catalog consisting of nebulae and star clusters to be known as the 110 Messier Objects.

First to fully explain the motion of the planets. Published three laws describing this, including Elliptical orbits instead of Circular.

Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer. He played a large piece in the scientific revolution of the Renaissance.

Cataloged hundreds of objects with an insane amount of accuracy, discovered the created of new stars.

Tycho Brahe was a Danish nobleman who was born in December of 1546 and is best known for his incredibly accurate astronomical and planetary observations.

Discovered galaxies outside of the Milky Way, showed that many galaxies were moving away from each other and showed the Redshift.

Edwin Powell Hubble was an American astronomer who played a crucial role in establishing the field of astronomy and is generally regarded as an important cosmologists.

Preserved the Hipparchus star catalog, created the Amalgest.

Claudius Ptolemy was an Egyptian writer, mathematician, astronomer, and poet. He lived in Egypt before the dark ages and preserved the star catalogue of Hipparchus and formed the Amalgest, in which he described the heavenly bodies in mathematical ways.
