What Are Arismachus's Accomplishments

Aristarchus of Samos was born 310 bce on the Greek island of Samos, and died 230 bce. It is said that his work was lost through out time, but his reserved work was an essential key to the study of science. He was a Greek astronomer and mathematician who became popular for his theories about our solar system. Out of math, he was the first to state that the sun, not the earth, was at the center of our solar system. However, everybody thought that hi was insane for thinking that, but he was on the correct. In the following essay I will present his accomplishments, and why Aristarchus of Samos was recognized.

Although, many records of Aristarchus education are lost with the years, little information remains. The early education years of Aristarchus

Without the remaining archives left from his work, many other astronomers would not have been able to finish their own studies. In the world we live now we are now able learn better than times before. Archimedes published his book, and in it he integrated Aristarchus’s theories and hypothesis.

Aristarchus was widely recognized for his brilliance, as a Greek Mathematician and astronomer not to mention his theories regarding the heliocentricity of our solar system, were insanely famous. Aristarchus with the help of others, mathematicians, proposed that the sun was motionless in the center of large fixed stars, and that earth revolved around it. However, little is known about the rest of his existence, since most of his work was burnt down in a great fire that destroyed the Alexandria.

All in all, Aristarchus of Samos was a great mathematician and astronomer whose studies only served to contribute to the studies that astronomers later on made. He did not get much credit in his times because they thought his was insane, and preferred not to believe him. Although, he is a major contributor to the studies that help people in present day to study and understand what astronomy looked back
