Astro-debate
Na Astrodebati bomo s pomočjo prof. Carla Sagana odkrivali zgodovino razvoja astronomskih opazovanj, geocentričnega in heliocentričnega modela vesolja ter dosežkov velikih astronomov tistega časa. Vabljeni v sredo, 20. januarja 2016, ob 16. uri v predavalnico MFP v Peterlinovem paviljonu na Fakulteti za matematiko in fiziko, Jadranska 19, Ljubljana.
Beginning with the separation of the fuzzy thinking and pious fraud of astrology from the careful observations of astronomy, Sagan follows the development of astronomical observation. Beginning with constellations and ceremonial calendars (such as those of the Anasazi), the story moves to the debate between Earth and Sun-centered models: Ptolemy and the geocentric worldview, Copernicus' theory, the data-gathering of Tycho Brahe, and the achievements of Johannes Kepler (Kepler's laws of planetary motion and the first science-fiction novel).
