Heliocentric universe, sun-centered; this was rejected by many
Tycho Brahe
Supported Copernicus; observed sky and developed data
Johannes Kepler
Calculated orbits of planets moving around sun; each planet moves in
ellipse orbit not a circular one
Galileo
Assembled telescope, observed four moons of Jupiter moving
around the planet; he challenged traditional views and was tried for
them
Andreas Vesalius
On the structure of the Human Body, described human anatomy;
autopsied bodies
William Harvey
Described circulation of the blood; heart is a pump to force blood
through veins/arteries
Anton van
Leeuwenhoek
Perfected microscope; first to see cells and microorganisms
Robert Boyle
Matter composed of tiny particles that behave in knowable ways;
distinguished between elements and compounds; chemistry
Isaac Newton
Gravity=force that keeps planets in orbit around sun; wrote book
saying nature follows uniform laws; all motion can be described
mathematically
