Abstract
,

In the earlier days, before the invention of astronomical instruments, people thought that Earth is the centre of all the objects in the space. This was known as the geocentric model, held by Greek astronomer Ptolemy (2nd Century), Indian astronomer Aryabhatta (5th Century) and many astronomers around the world. Later Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model (helios = Sun), with Sun at the centre of the solar system. Invention of the telescope in the Netherlands, in 1608, created a revolution in astronomy. In this lesson, we will study about the building blocks of the universe, Kepler's laws of motion, time period of satellites and International Space Station (ISS).
