Like ancient people

imagined

Universe

Universe
-
this is outer space and

everything that fills it.
- Celestial bodies - Gas - Dust

Earth.
1) Ancient Indians.
The earth is flat
and rests on the backs of 4 giant
Elephants
, which stand on
Turtle
. Turtle stands on
snake
, which symbolizes heaven and earthly space.

For a long time the center of the Universe was considered

Earth.
2) Ancient Babylonians.
Earth -

mountain
, all around is the sea,
sky
- an inverted bowl. The sun moves around the mountain, hence the change of day and night.

In Ancient Egypt, the World as represented by the ancient Egyptians: below is the Earth, above it is the goddess of the sky; to the left and to the right is the ship of the Sun god, showing the path of the Sun across the sky from sunrise to sunset.
How the ancient Greeks saw the Earth The ancient Greeks imagined the Earth as a flat disk surrounded by a sea inaccessible to humans, from which the stars emerge every evening and into which they set every morning. The sun god Helios rose every morning from the eastern sea in a golden chariot and made his way across the sky.

Ancient Greek scientist
Pythagoras
(mathematician) Pythagoras was the first to suggest that
Earth
not flat, but
round
, i.e. it has the shape of a ball (sphere).
(c. 580 - 500 BC)


4) World system according to
Aristotle
(philosopher).
Center – stationary

Earth
, around -
8

rotating spheres
(they are hard and transparent). The planets, the Moon, the Sun, and the stars are fixedly fixed on the spheres.
9th sphere
ensures the movement of other spheres -
engine of the universe
. Limits the Universe motionless
sphere of stars
.

Believed that the center

The universe is

not the Earth, but the Sun;

Earth and others

planets are moving

Around him. TO

unfortunately this

genius guess

was at that time

rejected and forgotten.

Aristarch

Samos

(320 – 250 BC)

For a long time, the Earth was considered the center of the Universe.
6) World system according to
K. Ptolemy

On the central

Polish Square

Torun there is a monument

Copernicus, on which

there is an inscription:

"Stopped"

Sun - shifted

Earth."

The teachings of N. Copernicus were supported by many scientists, they spread knowledge and deepened it. 1)
The universe is infinite -
cannot have a single unified center 2) The Sun is the center of the solar system 3)
The sun is one of

stars
, there are many of them and perhaps there is life somewhere else 8) Continued the teachings of Copernicus
Giordano Bruno

(1548 – 1600)

Born in Italy.

Burned in Rome.

Bruno was condemned by secular authorities and

by the Catholic Church as a heretic and was burned in

Rome for the dissemination and development of the teachings of N.

Copernicus.

Three centuries later, in 1889, at the site of the execution in honor of

A monument was erected to Giordano Bruno.

Galileo Galilei

(1564-1642)
Through the telescope he saw: 1)
Bumps on the Moon
2)
Dark spots on

Sun,
they always moved on the surface in one direction => The sun rotates around its axis 3) Opened

Copernicus that the Earth

revolves around the Sun, not

vice versa. For this statement in

1663 Galileo was convicted

by the Inquisition as a heretic. Astronomer

was forced to give up his

before his death, was under

house arrest. In 1992

special commission created

Pope John Paul II,

rehabilitated the scientist and

recognized his trial as "tragic

mistake."

Question 1. How did ancient people imagine the Universe?

For a long time, the Earth was considered the center of the Universe. The ancient Indians believed that the Earth was flat and rested on the backs of giant elephants, which in turn rested on a turtle. A huge turtle stands on a snake, which personifies the sky and, as it were, closes the earthly space. The Universe was seen differently by the peoples living on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The earth, in their opinion, is a mountain surrounded on all sides by the sea. Above them, in the form of an overturned bowl, is the starry sky.

Aristotle proposed his model of the structure of the Universe, or world system. In the center of the Universe, according to the scientist, there is a motionless Earth, around which eight celestial spheres, solid and transparent, revolve (translated from Greek “sphere” means ball). Celestial bodies - planets, Moon, Sun, stars - are fixedly fixed on them. The ninth sphere ensures the movement of all other spheres; it is the engine of the Universe.

Question 2. How did the system of the world created by Copernicus differ from the system of the world according to Ptolemy?

The main difference is that Copernicus has the Sun at the center of the world, and the Earth revolves around it. For Ptolemy, the Earth is located at the center of the world.

Question 3. What are the merits of J. Bruno in the development of views about the Universe?

The Italian scientist Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) believed that the Universe is infinite, it does not and cannot have a single center. The sun is the center of the solar system. But it itself is one of many stars around which planets revolve. Perhaps, J. Bruno believed, they also have life. And the Solar system has not yet been fully studied; it is possible that there are still undiscovered planets in it.

Question 4. What contribution did Galileo make to the study of the structure of the Universe?

In his observations of celestial bodies, Galileo was the first to use a telescope that he made himself. Galileo's best telescope gave a magnification of only 30 times. But this was enough to see irregularities on the surface of the Moon and dark spots on the Sun. The sunspots did not remain stationary; they moved across its surface, but always in one direction. The conclusion was that the Sun rotates around its own axis. What amazed contemporaries most of all was Galileo's discovery of the moons of Jupiter. This proved that not only celestial bodies can orbit around the Earth.

Question 5. What model of the Universe does modern science offer?

Modern science assumes such a model of the Universe. Our Earth is part of the solar system, which is part of a galaxy (a giant cluster of stars). Our and other galaxies, in turn, form clusters of galaxies, and they form superclusters. The world of the Universe is very diverse and contains countless celestial bodies and their systems.

Question 6. What is a galaxy?

A galaxy is a giant cluster of stars moving around a common center.

Question 7. Compare the Copernican world system (see Fig. 44) and the modern model of the Universe (see Fig. 51), find similarities and differences.

In models, the Sun is at the center of the Solar System, the planets are arranged in the same order, rotating around the Sun and around their own axis.

The difference is that for Copernicus all the stars are motionless and form a sphere that limits the Universe.

Today in the lesson we will get acquainted with the ideas of Nicolaus Copernicus and other scientists about the Universe. Lesson topic: "From Nicolaus Copernicus to the present day".

Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus believed that the center of the Universe is the Sun around which all the planets revolve. Planets also move around their axis. The stars are motionless and limit the Universe.

How do you think Nicolaus Copernicus explained the movement of stars if he believed that they were motionless? (Rotation of planets around their axis)

What are the similarities and differences between the Copernican and Ptolemaic systems? (Planets rotate in orbits and around their own axis; Ptolemy had the Earth at the center of the Universe)

Can we say that Nicolaus Copernicus described the Universe? (No, he described the solar system)

Open and read the textbook about Giordano Bruno. Can we say that Giordano Bruno's guesses were correct? Which guesses do you think are correct?

Italian scientist Giordano Bruno

The universe is infinite and has no center; (right)

The Sun is the center of the Solar System; (right)

The sun is one of many stars; (right)

Perhaps there is life in other star systems as well (not proven)

Italian scientist Galileo Galilei

For the first time I used a telescope to observe celestial bodies;

I saw irregularities on the Moon and dark spots on the Sun;

Discovered the moons of Jupiter.

Match the discovery with the conclusion that can be drawn from this discovery.

Answer: A-2, B-3, C-1

Modern idea of ​​the Universe:

Earth is a planet in the solar system.

The solar system is part of the galaxy (Milky Way)

Our galaxy and other galaxies form supergalaxies.

All supergalaxies are part of the Universe.

Stage 4. Consolidation of the studied material.

Which statements are true and which ones are not?

Nicolaus Copernicus believed that the Earth was at the center of the Universe ( wrong)

Giordano Bruno believed that the Universe is infinite ( right)

Galileo Galilei discovered the moons of Mercury ( wrong)

The solar system and the Universe are one and the same ( wrong)

A galaxy is a collection of stars ( right)

Stage 5. Summing up the lesson. Homework.

Today in the lesson we got acquainted with the idea of ​​the Universe of such scientists as N. Copernicus, G. Bruno, G. Galileo, as well as with modern ideas about the Universe.
