Great astronomers

 

Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727)

 

This English astronomer is regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time. Among its main findings is the creation of the law of universal gravitation.

 

With this law, Newton demonstrated that there is a force of attraction between the planets and the Sun. In addition, he argued that existing laws on earth are the same as those that exist in the rest of the planets.

 

Another major discovery was the refinement of the telescope which enabled him to carry out various views of the surface of planets and stars discover.
