26 de out. de 2021 · Resumo. A humanidade estabelece vínculos investigativos sobre o céu há muito tempo e desde que se tem o registro de suas primeiras verificações até o momento, muitas coisas mudaram: o conhecimento a respeito do universo se expandiu, planetas e outros corpos celestes foram descobertos, o Sol e sua relação com a Terra ficaram melhor compreendidos.
For instance, Alexander Stewart Herschel FRS (1836-1907) identified comets as the source of meteor showers and Colonel John Herschel FRS (1837-1921) gathered information on planet Earth using...
