...126The most impactful design of atelescope, however, is Galileo’s newly developedtelescope, which was used to makesome amazing astronomical discoveries,such as witnessing the revolving moonsystem of Jupiter and realizing there werecertainly celestial objects that didn’t circlethe Earth. It was created around the year1609 A.D. Galileo came into direct disputewith the influential church because of hisefforts to defend the heliocentric theory ofthe cosmos. He was compelled to repentafter being found guilty of heresy in 1632A.D, and he was sentenced to house arrestfor the remainder of his life (Miller, 2013).Western civilizations ultimatelycaught up to their Middle Eastern counterparts.The Enlightenment period witnessedfurther advancements where astronomicalunderstanding flourished. SirIsaac Newton created the first reflectingtelescope in 1668 AD, which looked fartherinto space by using a curved mirrorrather than a lens. Later, Newton releaseshis incredibly famous work, “PhilosophiaeNaturalis Principia Mathematica,” inwhich he affirms that the Earth revolvesaround the Sun and provides an explanationfor the three Kepler laws. The law ofuniversal gravitation, which he also develops,ushered in a new era of physics andenlightenment. In the field of cosmology,Messier also finds and records a largenumber of galaxies, nebulae, and star clustersin 1781 A.D. The study of the galaxyhas broadened and mind-boggling theoriessuch as the Black Hole Theory wereproposed in 1798 A.D by Laplace (Miller,2013).As we approach the 19th and 20thcenturies, the dream of touching the starsis becoming more tangible. This periodmarks the shift from theoretical studiestoward outer space exploration. We cannotdiscuss the theories about space withoutbringing up Albert Einstein’s SpecialTheory of Relativity, which introduces usto the relationship between space and timein 1905 A.D, then in 1916 his GeneralTheory of Relativity, which discusses gravitationalforce. In studying the galaxies, inouter space, Edwin Hubble, who workedat Mount Wilson Observatory and used a60-inch reflector telescope to examine thegalaxies in space, demonstrated in 1923A.D. that galaxies are different systemsfrom our own Milky Way and that the universewas expanding.
