Earth's location in the Universe is utterly unremarkable, despite recent theories that propose toppling a foundation of modern cosmology, according to a team of University of British Columbia researchers.
Man-made satellites are now carrying telescopes into space. Galileo was one of the first scientists to observe objects in the sky using a telescope, an instrument that magnifies or makes distant objects appear larger. His observation led to the understanding that we do not live in an Earth-centered universe.
