The astronomical clock in old Prague tracks the sun's path through the zodiac constellations, and the phases of the moon, all surrounded by macabre carvings of skeletons and saints.
There is a 30,000+ piece clock at the Besançon Cathedral in eastern France, which tracks years (including leap years), sunrise and sunset, tides, and the time of 17 places around the globe.

As analog clocks give way to lightweight digital timepieces, it seems increasingly amazing that mechanical clocks once not only told the time of day, but also kept track of the movement of the planets, the forming of constellations, the phases of the moon, and so much more.
Centuries ago, astronomical clocks were the ultimate statement in horological prowess.

During the heyday of grand astronomical clocks, between the 14th and 16th centuries in Europe, these massive constructions were often decorated as ornate pieces of art featuring multiple faces, moving figures, carved ornamentation, and intricately displayed figures.

In 1613, Galileo wrote a letter to a student to explain how Copernican theory did not contradict Biblical passages, stating that scripture was written from an earthly perspective and implied that science provided a different, more accurate perspective.
After Galileo built his telescope in 1604, he began mounting a body of evidence and openly supporting the Copernican theory that the earth and planets revolve around the sun.
In 1616, Galileo was ordered not to "Hold, teach, or defend in any manner" the Copernican theory.
The Starry Messenger, a small booklet revealing Galileo's discoveries that the moon was not flat and smooth but a sphere with mountains and craters.

As an adult, Newton immersed himself in his work, had no hobbies and never married
He even remained silent about some of his scientific and mathematical discoveries for years, if he published them at all.
Newton was born prematurely on Christmas Day 1642 at his family’s home, Woolsthorpe Manor, near the town of Grantham, England, several months after the death of his father,
Initially, he wasn’t a strong student; however, as the story goes, following a confrontation with a school bully Newton started applying himself in an effort to best the other boy and transformed into a top student.

Galileo invented an improved telescope , and also discovered Jupiter's 4 moons
galileo was an Italian scientist who made pioneering observations that laid modern physics and astronomy
in 1609 Galileo learned about a telescope developed by the dutch eyeglass makers and soon made one of his own

objective 4
- Italian scientist and scholar Galileo made pioneering observations that laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy. His research into the pendulum help to develop the modern clock
objectiv 2
- Scientists like Francis Bacon, Galileo, Rene Descartes, and Isaac Newton made discoveries that would change the world.
objective 5
- An astronomical clock is a clock with special mechanisms and dials to display astronomical information, such as the relative positions of the sun, moon, zodiacal constellations, and sometimes major planets.
obj 3
- Copernicus was an astronomer who lived in the early 1500s. He came up with the idea that the Sun was the center of the universe. This was very different from the current belief that the Earth was the center.
