Ecuador (1936) - Ekspedisi Geodetik Akademi Sains Peranchis

Ekspedisi geodetik oleh French Academy of Science ke Ecuador dan Lapland pada 1735 tercatat dalam banyak artikel sejarah geodetik. Setem kenangan dengan foto tiga ahli ekspedisi tersebut - La Condomine, Godin dan Bouger diterbit oleh Ecuador pada 1936. Setem sebagai ulang tahun ke-200 ekspedisi tersebut.

In 1735 and 1736, two French-led expeditions set out to resolve a dispute as to whether the Earth was flattened at the equator, as held by French astronomers, or at the poles, as predicted by Isaac Newton in England. One expedition headed polewards, to Lapland, while the other went equatorwards, to Quito in present-day Ecuador.

The Quito team included Charles Marie de La Condamine (1701–1774), a French mathematician and explorer; Pierre Bouguer (1698–1758), a French mathematician and surveyor and a pioneer of astronomical photometry; and Louis Godin (1704–1760), a French astronomer. With them were two Spanish scientists, Antonio de Ulloa and Jorge Juan. Each expedition measured the length of a degree of latitude at their respective locations, and their results confirmed Newton’s prediction that the Earth is flattened at the poles.

Ecuador issued a set of stamps to commemorate the bicentenary of the arrival of the French expedition. On the three illustrated here, La Condamine is flanked by Louis Godin (left) and Pierre Bouguer. On two others (5c green and 20c violet) Godin and Bouguer are replaced by the Spaniards Ulloa and Juan. The 10c, 20c and 50c values were also issued overprinted with the word “Aereo” (SG 534, 535, 536). An additional member of the set (70c grey, SG 537), inscribed “Correo Aereo”, shows La Condamine and a local scientist, Pedro Vicente Maldonado, who accompanied La Condamine on his return journey along the Amazon.

As an aside, Ulloa and Juan discovered the valuable element platinum while in Ecuador. On his way back to Spain, Ulloa was captured by the English and taken to London where, on account of his scientific eminence, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Netherland - Astronomer Huygens (1928)

Seorang lagi ahli astronomer yang mendapat pengiktirafan keluaran setem ialah Huygens. Foto beliau diabadi dalam satu setem Holland pada 1928.

Huygens (1629-1695)

Info dari sumber - link:

Christiaan Huygens (1629–95), a Dutch physicist and astronomer, was noted for his observations of the planets. He discovered Titan, Saturn’s largest moon; recognized that Saturn was surrounded by a flat ring system; and charted surface markings on Mars, notably the wedge-shaped Syrtis Major. Fittingly, the European Space Agency’s probe which landed on Titan in 2005 January was named Huygens. The wording “Voor Het Kind” on the stamp, literally meaning “For the Child”, indicates that this is a Child Welfare issue.

Setem Aristarchus of Samos (b.310 BC)

Setem memperingati Aristarchus of Samos keluaran Greece pada tahun (?). Beliau lahir pada 310BC dan meninggal dunia 230BC.

sumber - link1

Ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician who presented the first known model that placed the Sun at the center of the known universe with the Earth revolving around it ... the system known now as heliocentric (as opposed to geocentric) 

sumber - link2

Aristarchus of Samos (3rd century BC) considered the sizes and distances of the sun and the moon, and was the first to try to calculate the distances of these bodies geometrically . Furthermore, he advanced the theory that the sun was at rest at the center of the sphere of fixed stars, and that the earth and planets revolved around the sun. The apparent motion of the stars was due to the daily rotation of the earth. Copernicus was familiar with Aristarchus' theory of the universe, which at the time, however, did not find favor with the ancient philosophers.

Poland (1943) - Ulangtahun Kematian Copernicus

Pada 1943 sekali lagi Poland mengeluarkan setem kenangan Copernicus. Kali ini sempena ulang tahun ke 400 kematian Copernicus. Beliau meninggal dunia pada 24 Mei 1543.

Copernicus - Ulang tahun kematian ke 400

Info - link:

This is a repeat of the 1942 Poland design, but with the colour changed from green to dark red (the Gibbons catalogue terms it purple) and overprinted with the dates “24 Mai 1543” on the left and “24 Mai 1943” at right to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of Copernicus.

Poland (1940) - Copernicus Memorial

Satu lagi setem pengiktirafan kepada Copernicus diterbitkan oleh Poland pada 1940.

Copernicus Memorial

Info dari sumber - link:

In 1900 a monument to Nicolaus Copernicus was set up in the courtyard of his alma mater, the Collegium Maius (Great College) of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Copernicus is modelled in a cape, holding an armillary sphere. The statue is not there now, as it was moved to the Witkowski Collegium in nearby Planty Park in 1953, but this stamp shows how it looked in 1940. As the inscription “Generalgouvernement” and the Nazi eagle indicate, this stamp was released while Poland was under German occupation during World War II.

Poland - Astronomer Copernicus (1923)

Setem kenangan ahli astonomi Copernicus yang berasal dari Poland telah keluar pada 1923.

Copernicus (1473-1543)

Info dari - link:

The first astronomer to be depicted on a postage stamp is Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), a Polish clergyman and astronomer who in the year of his death published the heretical view that the Earth revolved around the Sun, not vice versa as had been traditionally believed. This revolutionary idea dethroned the Earth from the centre of the Universe. Fittingly, the first to honour him philatelically was his home country. Copernicus makes ten further appearances on this list – eight times on stamps from Poland (see 1940, 1942, 1943, 1945, 1946, 1951, 1953, and 1955), once from China (1953) and once from Russia (1955).
