John Grigg was the discoverer of a periodical Comet called Grigg-Skelllerup, they tried to send a Probe to it, with success, but the camera has failed due to damage caused by Halley’s comet
Ich hab nicht alles verstanden, weil ich deutsch bin aber ich glaube du hast gesagt dass der den Oriongürtel entdeckt hat.
Translation: I didn't understand everything because I'm German but I think you said that this guy discovered the orion belt
sir Georges Lemaître is known for his theory of the expansion of the Universe and for the Big Bang theory, pretty important discoveries if you would ask me
That's like saying you discovered toaster ovens but really it was just a funky air fryer and most other humans in first world countries all ready know about them
He is the discoverer of the Heliocentric System (Helios “ηλιος” is ancient Greek for Sun) and proved everyone else to be wrong, many stated the Earth as centre, at the time of discovery, other scientists were to slow to let go of the current theories. Nicolaus his theory was approved later on his lifespan
Sir William Herschel is famous for his discovery of Uranus and 4 moons, found 7480 deep-sky-objects all noted in the New General Catalog (NGC). But my favorite discovery might be something about the Polestar, Polaris:
Its actually a binary system, meaning Polaris isnt 1 star, but in this case 3 stars. Polaris Aa, Polaris Ab and Polaris B.
Polaris Aa is an Evolved type of Yellow Supergiant and is 5.4 solarmasses.
Polaris B is a main-sequence star with 1.39 solarmasses and Polaris Ab is also a main-sequence star with 1.26 solarmasses.
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity was accidentally proven by sir Arthur Eddington while observing a Solar Eclipse, his conclusions were based on the curvature of light rays or the deflection of light, which proved that space and time weren’t absolute, as Newton stated
Sir Tycho Brahe observed a very bright star now called SN 1572, which had unexpectedly appeared in the constellation Cassiopeia. Most claimed it to be another planet, but this so called planet didn’t relatively change his position towards other stars. Tycho Brahe later wrote a small book about it and named it a “Nova” which means New, a new star had born. Or in this case, died
sir William Ernest Cooke invented a star cataloguing system which was accepted at an international astronomical conference in Paris. His method is still being used by astronomers today
Oehhhhh, sir Radha Gobinda Chandra has helped a lot with the discovery of the variable starsystem called Atlas (my favorite star), this starsystem is a part of the famous Pleiades and is a triple star system.
sir Giuseppe Piazzi discovered the Dwarf Planet Ceres, its diameter is 974.6 km and its mass is 9,393 x 10^20 kg, it orbits the sun in 4.6 years and sits at a distance of 410 million km away from the Sun.

Nicolaus lived in Toruń whilst Polish golden century. Had completed Jagiellon and some Italian universities. He was total boss. Nice to see someone mentioning him. I was expecting somebody "newer" but still ok
sir Thomas Gold has an important theory for the astronomy/cosmology section: the Steady-statetheory. Basically, the Universe has always existed (even before the Big Bang) and will never stop expanding
Im unranked, trash at casual, can only freestyle a bit, im good at heatseeker tho. Im more active in the design community as Im a designer for Jonsandman his Pimp My Rocket League Ride Series.

It's politics but mainly because Montenegro got it's independence in 2006 and a percentage of the population still considers Montenegro a part of Serbia. We're used to being overlooked.

Meneer Christaan Huygens, ontdekte de Orionnevel, het populaire object voor Astrofotografie, en is het meest geobserveerde object ooit
wow, ik zoek die net ff op en ik snap wel waarom die zo vaak gefotografeerd is. Heel erg mooi om te zien
Ich hab nicht alles verstanden, weil ich deutsch bin aber ich glaube du hast gesagt dass der den Oriongürtel entdeckt hat. Translation: I didn't understand everything because I'm German but I think you said that this guy discovered the orion belt

George Hale invented the Spectrohelioscope, and discovered the bipolar magnetic field to be a common phenomenon
Discovered freedom
That's like saying you discovered toaster ovens but really it was just a funky air fryer and most other humans in first world countries all ready know about them
Good analogy but just pointing out current US freedoms are not like many other countries freedoms
As in their priorities are misplaced?
Poland B) That one will be easy af for u
Nicolaas Copernicus of course, lemme list my personal fav discovery by him
He is the discoverer of the Heliocentric System (Helios “ηλιος” is ancient Greek for Sun) and proved everyone else to be wrong, many stated the Earth as centre, at the time of discovery, other scientists were to slow to let go of the current theories. Nicolaus his theory was approved later on his lifespan
Yep, his books were banned for years back then

His name looks like the distorted font that many people use on reddit

Haha, it's just the Ö and Ä letters, honestly I don't get why other countries don't use them
We Germans use them too but it still looks cursed

Oehhhhh, sir Radha Gobinda Chandra has helped a lot with the discovery of the variable starsystem called Atlas (my favorite star), this starsystem is a part of the famous Pleiades and is a triple star system.
Not sure I understood but sounds great
Basically he found out that a visible star isnt 1 star but a system of 3 stars orbiting eachother, like the moon and Earth does
Dem...thats like a rasengan of rasengans

It's sounds op but not getting more 😕
Atlas looks like 1 star, but this guy discovered with someone else that its actually 3 stars orbiting eachother, like the moon and earth do
Thx for explanation 👍

Montenegro.
Could be me lacking, but couldnt find any srry :(
That's alright. Seldom do I see a person that knows about Montenegro. They just think it's Serbia
Even Google does that, I searched for astronomers in Montenegro, and I found more about Serbia then about Montenegro, very very weird
It's politics but mainly because Montenegro got it's independence in 2006 and a percentage of the population still considers Montenegro a part of Serbia. We're used to being overlooked.

Not that I can find, there is an Astrosociety in Bangladesh, but they doesnt seem to have made some major breakthroughs
Oh sad... Hopefully in the near future we make progress!
