20 greastest/most important develpments in space

[Guest nasza]

hi

 

im currently studying physics in grade 12. I have an assignment due at the end of the week which asks for the most important discoveries to the model of the solar system/universe.

 

The major events in history i am aware of i.e. the invention of the telescope and Keplers 3 Laws of Astrophysics, but i am unsure of the importance of the lesser contributions to the model.

 

I would appreciate any contribution to the importance of the developments in the model of the solar system/universe.
