Instauratae Mechanica, made by astronomer, Tycho Brahe. This invention was used to measure the star's and planet's altitude. Durning the Renissance, there was many discoveries that had to do with space. For exaple, Issac's theroy that the sun was the center of the universe was thought of. That was the beginning of the thought process of the solar system. More and more astromer's stepped up and invented devices that helped inhance our knowledge about space. Tycho Brahe was one of them with his invention, Azimuth Quadrant. This invention was very important because we didn't know how far apart the plantets are. Now because of the Azimuth Quadrant we have a bigger understanding about how close plantets are. It was a big contribution to astromony and how we view many things today.

In this image, Johannes Gutenberg created the printing press. This effected many people and reglions. It revolutionized communication by making it possible for the first time to distribute documents to a large number of people in a short amount of time. More people had books and less people had to copy them. Books were made faster and easier. In the result of the printing press, more people drew away from the chruch. They did this beacause of all the new books that were replacing reglious books. The Bible was the first book printed from the printing press.
