This is our video for the The Cambridge Ancient World Film Competition.
Our film is about Ancient Greek Astronomy. We chose to focus it on whether the immense influence of these powerful astronomers had a positive or negative effect on the future of astronomy by researching into theories that were ahead of their time, as well as ones that were incorrect and misled many others.
The film is a voice over that explains both sides to this argument over a time lapse of our drawings onto a blackboard. We chose this method of presenting our ideas as together the audio and visual elements in order to engage the viewers with both factual information and graphical links.
The video begins by explaining where the word astronomy comes from, and then delves into the two arguments as well as famous astronomers. We have then chosen to include footage of footsteps with the audio for the Apollo 11 radio communications during the lift off, to question how progressive the astronomical steps of the Ancient Greeks were to modern day exploration.
We hope you enjoy watching it!

A History of Astronomy
astronomy in the middle ages
Ancient Astronomy
“Ancient” means from time long past, especially before the end of the Western Roman Empire in 476 A.D.
history of astronomy
Many ancient peoples, including in ancient China and India, made
Astronomy Books
ancient greek astronomy detailed observations about the objects in the sky
These observations were useful in making calendars, which helped in yearly planning, and were also part of many religions
History Journal
Is the solar system geocentric or heliocentric?
“geo” = earth, “helio” = sun, “centric” = centered, so “geocentric” means “earth-centered” and “heliocentric” means “sun-centered”
Most ancient Greek astronomers believed that the earth was the center of the solar system and the universe, with everything orbiting it, which is called a “geocentric” model or system
We now know that the earth orbits the sun, which is called a “heliocentric” model
Ancient Greek Astronomy
• Most ancient Greeks believed that all astronomical objects were perfect, unchanging spheres and orbited in perfect circles around the earth, following different physical laws from those on Earth
• These ideas were believed by most people until Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo disproved them more than 1000 years later
• Although they had many wrong ideas about the solar system, the ancient Greeks made many important astronomical discoveries
Astronomy in the Middle Ages
In European history, the Middle Ages lasted from about 500 A.D. to about 1500 A.D. (between antiquity and the modern period)
In Europe, astronomy (and knowledge in general) did not gain much during the Middle Ages, and so it has been called “The Dark Ages”
Nicholas Copernicus (1473 - 1543)
The publication of Copernicus' book, On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres, just before his death in 1543, is considered a major event in the history of science
It argued for the heliocentric model based on the observed backward motion of Mars
Tycho Brahe (1546 - 1601)
His model of the Solar System put forth in Introduction to the New Astronomy (1588) combined the geocentric and heliocentric models
Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630)
Published Astronomia nova in 1609
Kepler’s work provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation
He discovered that orbits are shaped like ellipses, not circles
Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642)
He discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter and craters on the Moon
His 1631 book, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, argued for the heliocentric model
He said the Earth could be moving because of the law of inertia
Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)
Newton used the ideas of Copernicus, Galileo, and others and created the 3 Laws of Motion and the Law of Universal Gravitation
These laws accurately described the motions of all objects everywhere, including astronomical objects
Before this it was believed that astronomical objects had different laws of motion than objects on the Earth
Published his theories in his work Principia in 1687

*** The ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician Ptolemy, and consider how and why his geocentric theory of the universe held sway for so many centuries. In his seminal astronomical work, the Almagest, written in the 2nd century AD, Ptolemy proposed that the Earth was at the centre of the universe and explained all the observed motions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars with a system of uniform circular motions which he referred to as 'epicycles'. But Ptolemy was a polymath and did not confine his study of the stars to mathematical equations. He was also interested in astrology and his book on this topic, the Tetrabiblos, tackled the spiritual aspects of the cosmos and its influence on individual lives and personalities.Ptolemy's model of the universe remained the dominant one for over a thousand years. It was not until 1543, and Copernicus's heliocentric theory of the world, that the Ptolemaic model was finally challenged, and not until 1609 that Johannes Kepler's New Astronomy put an end to his ideas for good. But how and why did Ptolemy's system survive for so long? ***

Ancient Greek astronomy
Greek astronomy is astronomy written in the Greek language in classical antiquity. Greek astronomy is understood to include the ancient Greek, Hellenistic, Greco-Roman, and Late Antiquity eras. It is not limited geographically to Greece or to ethnic Greeks, as the Greek language had become the language of scholarship throughout the Hellenistic world following the conquests of Alexander. This phase of Greek astronomy is also known as Hellenistic astronomy, while the pre-Hellenistic phase is known as Classical Greek astronomy. During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, much of the Greek and non-Greek astronomers working in the Greek tradition studied at the Musaeum and the Library of Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt.
The development of astronomy by the Greek and Hellenistic astronomers is considered by historians to be a major phase in the history of astronomy. Greek astronomy is characterized from the start by seeking a rational, physical explanation for celestial phenomena. Most of the constellations of the northern hemisphere derive from Greek astronomy, as are the names of many stars, asteroids, and planets. It was influenced by Egyptian and especially Babylonian astronomy; in turn, it influenced Indian, Arabic-Islamic and Western European astronomy.

This is our video for the The Cambridge Ancient World Film Competition.
Our film is about Ancient Greek Astronomy. We chose to focus it on whether the immense influence of these powerful astronomers had a positive or negative effect on the future of astronomy by researching into theories that were ahead of their time, as well as ones that were incorrect and misled many others.
The film is a voice over that explains both sides to this argument over a time lapse of our drawings onto a blackboard. We chose this method of presenting our ideas as together the audio and visual elements in order to engage the viewers with both factual information and graphical links.
The video begins by explaining where the word astronomy comes from, and then delves into the two arguments as well as famous astronomers. We have then chosen to include footage of footsteps with the audio for the Apollo 11 radio communications during the lift off, to question how progressive the astronomical steps of the Ancient Greeks were to modern day exploration.
We hope you enjoy watching it!

Is the solar system geocentric or heliocentric?

Most ancient Greek astronomers believed that the earth was the center of the solar system and the universe, with everything orbiting it, which is called a “geocentric” model or system
We now know that the earth orbits the sun, which is called a “heliocentric” model

Newton used the ideas of Copernicus, Galileo, and others and created the 3 Laws of Motion and the Law of Universal Gravitation
These laws accurately described the motions of all objects everywhere, including astronomical objects
Before this it was believed that astronomical objects had different laws of motion than objects on the Earth
Published his theories in his work Principia in 1687

A History of Astronomy
astronomy in the middle ages
Ancient Astronomy
“Ancient” means from time long past, especially before the end of the Western Roman Empire in 476 A.D.
history of astronomy
Many ancient peoples, including in ancient China and India, made
Astronomy Books
ancient greek astronomy detailed observations about the objects in the sky
These observations were useful in making calendars, which helped in yearly planning, and were also part of many religions
History Journal
Is the solar system geocentric or heliocentric?
“geo” = earth, “helio” = sun, “centric” = centered, so “geocentric” means “earth-centered” and “heliocentric” means “sun-centered”
Most ancient Greek astronomers believed that the earth was the center of the solar system and the universe, with everything orbiting it, which is called a “geocentric” model or system
We now know that the earth orbits the sun, which is called a “heliocentric” model
Ancient Greek Astronomy
• Most ancient Greeks believed that all astronomical objects were perfect, unchanging spheres and orbited in perfect circles around the earth, following different physical laws from those on Earth
• These ideas were believed by most people until Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo disproved them more than 1000 years later
• Although they had many wrong ideas about the solar system, the ancient Greeks made many important astronomical discoveries
Astronomy in the Middle Ages
In European history, the Middle Ages lasted from about 500 A.D. to about 1500 A.D. (between antiquity and the modern period)
In Europe, astronomy (and knowledge in general) did not gain much during the Middle Ages, and so it has been called “The Dark Ages”
Nicholas Copernicus (1473 - 1543)
The publication of Copernicus' book, On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres, just before his death in 1543, is considered a major event in the history of science
It argued for the heliocentric model based on the observed backward motion of Mars
Tycho Brahe (1546 - 1601)
His model of the Solar System put forth in Introduction to the New Astronomy (1588) combined the geocentric and heliocentric models
Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630)
Published Astronomia nova in 1609
Kepler’s work provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation
He discovered that orbits are shaped like ellipses, not circles
Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642)
He discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter and craters on the Moon
His 1631 book, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, argued for the heliocentric model
He said the Earth could be moving because of the law of inertia
Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)
Newton used the ideas of Copernicus, Galileo, and others and created the 3 Laws of Motion and the Law of Universal Gravitation
These laws accurately described the motions of all objects everywhere, including astronomical objects
Before this it was believed that astronomical objects had different laws of motion than objects on the Earth

*** The ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician Ptolemy, and consider how and why his geocentric theory of the universe held sway for so many centuries. In his seminal astronomical work, the Almagest, written in the 2nd century AD, Ptolemy proposed that the Earth was at the centre of the universe and explained all the observed motions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars with a system of uniform circular motions which he referred to as 'epicycles'. But Ptolemy was a polymath and did not confine his study of the stars to mathematical equations. He was also interested in astrology and his book on this topic, the Tetrabiblos, tackled the spiritual aspects of the cosmos and its influence on individual lives and personalities.Ptolemy's model of the universe remained the dominant one for over a thousand years. It was not until 1543, and Copernicus's heliocentric theory of the world, that the Ptolemaic model was finally challenged, and not until 1609 that Johannes Kepler's New Astronomy put an end to his ideas for good. But how and why did Ptolemy's system survive for so long? ***

Explore their contributions to geometry, astronomy, and physics and take a close-up look at how they applied their knowledge: Thales predicted an eclipse, Pythagoras discovered mathematical correlation between a musical instrument's string length and its tone, Archimedes developed laws of mechanics, and a group of 90 priests made well-informed educated guesses about many things.

Greek Mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece and is part of religion in modern Greece and around the world, known as Hellenismos. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to throw light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.[1]
Greek mythology is explicitly embodied in a large collection of narratives, and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as vase-paintings and votive gifts. Greek myth attempts to explain the origins of the world, and details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, and mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; today the Greek myths are known primarily from Greek literature.
The oldest known Greek literary sources, Homer's epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, focus on events surrounding the Trojan War. Two poems by Homer's near contemporary Hesiod, the Theogony and the Works and Days, contain accounts of the genesis of the world, the succession of divine rulers, the succession of human ages, the origin of human woes, and the origin of sacrificial practices. Myths are also preserved in the Homeric Hymns, in fragments of epic poems of the Epic Cycle, in lyric poems, in the works of the tragedians of the fifth century BC, in writings of scholars and poets of the Hellenistic Age, and in texts from the time of the Roman Empire by writers such as Plutarch and Pausanias.
Archaeological findings provide a principal source of detail about Greek mythology, with gods and heroes featured prominently in the decoration of many artifacts. Geometric designs on pottery of the eighth century BC depict scenes from the Trojan cycle as well as the adventures of Heracles. In the succeeding Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, Homeric and various other mythological scenes appear, supplementing the existing literary evidence.[2] Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes.
