“Incorrect answer is not a meaningless one”, Hubert words continue to resonate since the start.

Love your weekly reviews of Orb! Always excited to hear your thoughts.

ME TOO

And yes, the term “planetes” is derived from the Greek word planētēs (πλανήτης), meaning “wanderer.” It originally referred to celestial objects that appeared to move against the background of fixed stars in the night sky. In modern astronomy, the term specifically refers to planets

Even if Piast is in the wrong I could not help but feel sorry for him. He ended practically in the same place as his master on his death bed. But at least in his last breath he saw a glimmer of truth.

I feel pain for Plast too, but that's what we got to learn (I'm still struggling to learn this) that progress is driven by constant skepticism and that humans advance by challenging egos, existing systems and beliefs. Dogma, fear, egos need to be put aside to make way for innovation and change

What a great episode, i felt so bad for Piast, even cried a bit

[@greensky01]

BTW The necklace is a primitive model. The “orb” with the three marks is a reference to Earth (Terra) as the third planet. The string represents the orbit by which the planet travel along.

Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was a Polish mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic cleric best known for his revolutionary heliocentric model of the universe, which proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, is at the center of the universe. His work marked a pivotal shift in the field of astronomy and laid the foundation for the scientific revolution. Impact: Copernicus’ ideas initially met with resistance but gradually gained acceptance through the works of later astronomers like Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton. His heliocentric model redefined humanity’s understanding of its place in the cosmos and shifted the focus of science toward observation and evidence-based reasoning. Key Contributions: 1. Heliocentric Theory: In his seminal work, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), published in 1543, Copernicus argued that: • The Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. • The Earth rotates daily on its axis, causing the apparent movement of celestial bodies. • The seasons and the precession of the equinoxes are explained by the Earth’s axial tilt and orbital motion. 2. Challenge to the Geocentric Model: Before Copernicus, the dominant view (from Ptolemy’s geocentric model) placed Earth at the universe’s center. This belief was supported by religious and philosophical traditions. Copernicus’ heliocentric model challenged this worldview, though he presented his ideas cautiously to avoid conflict with the Church. 3. Mathematical Precision: While his model retained circular planetary orbits (later corrected by Kepler’s elliptical orbits), it offered a simpler explanation of planetary motion and solved discrepancies in Ptolemy’s system.

What a great episode, THANKS

The way Oczy now looks at the sky is the same way I looked at my first \/agina.

[@ousou78]

That was poetic

[@bojackbojackbojack]

@@ousou78 - Yeah man. It was like looking into the face of God himself. Oczy saw the same thing.
