  Giordano Bruno   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Bruno Nolano or Bruno the Nolan was an Italian philosopher, astronomer, and occultist executed as a heretic, popularly regarded as a martyr to the cause of freedom of thought because his ideas went against church doctrine.
Although Bruno did not wholly embrace Copernicus's preference for mathematics over speculation, he advocated the Copernican view that the earth was not the center of the universe, and extrapolated some consequences which may seem like common sense in the 21st century, but which were radical departures from the cosmology of the time.
Bruno believed, as is now universally accepted, that the Earth revolves and that the apparent diurnal rotation of the heavens is an illusion caused by the rotation of the Earth around its axis.

Giordano Bruno (1548–February 17, 1600) was an Italian philosopher, priest, astronomer/astrologer, and occultist.
Although the primary charge against Bruno was docetism, (adherence to the doctrine that Jesus did not actually have a physical body and that his physical presence was an illusion), and despite the fact that his theoretical work cannot be considered scientific, some authors have claimed Bruno as a "martyr of science".
Czesław Miłosz's poem "Campo di Fiori" interweaves the Italian masses indifference to the burning of Giordano Bruno with the Poles' indifference to the Germans' supression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

 Giordano Bruno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giordano Bruno (Nola, 1548–Rome, February 17, 1600) was an Italian philosopher, priest, astronomer/astrologer, and occultist.
Bruno is perhaps best known for his system of mnemonics based upon organized knowledge and as an early proponent of the idea of extrasolar planets and extraterrestrial life.
Bruno was also heavily influenced by the ideas of Copernicus and by the newly rediscovered ideas of Plato as well as the teachings ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus[1].

Bruno himself was not an astronomer, but one of the first to embrace Copernicanism as a world view, rejecting geocentrism.
Bruno's cosmology is marked by infinitude, homogeneity, and isotropy, with planetary systems distributed evenly throughout.

 June 18 1178 Impact Crater
The first photographs of Giordano Bruno, made in October 1959 during the Soviet Lunik III Mission, showed a ray system so bright and impressive that the actual crater diameter was over-estimated by a factor of three.
The brightly rayed crater Giordano Bruno at upper left has been suspected to be the result of such an impact, however, recent studies have put this scenario into doubt.
Furthermore, while Giordano Bruno is indeed the youngest crater of its size anywhere on the Moon, multispectral images from the Clementine spacecraft show that this impact site has to be much older than 800 years.

The bright rays radiating from the crater suggests that it is relatively young.
Critics of the 1178 AD formation of Bruno crater suggest that the English monks probably saw a large meteor that entered the Earth's atmosphere in a line of sight between them and the Moon.
Firstly, considering that the Moon's craters represent a 4.5 billion year old record, the probability that a large meteorite or asteroid could produce a large crater on the Moon within historical times is considered highly improbable (perhaps about one chance in a 1000 every 1000 years).

 Giordano Bruno and the Jungle AAA
The reason why Giordano Bruno is so interesting for the junglenautical praxis is that there were no others who so openly defended the Copernican system in the late 16th century.
Bruno was an unconventional thinker who stopped seeing god as a 'person' but rather as some sort cosmic DNA inhibiting everything as a divine spirit.
Bruno integrated the new science into his worldview, a worldview which became a way of life he refused to surrender under any circumstance.

Giordano Bruno is in a position that could be consistent with this description; it is also the youngest crater of its size or larger on the Moon, meaning 1178 could conceivably be its birth date.

 The Mysterious Case of Crater Giordano Bruno
A geologist suggested in 1976 that this account is consistent with the location and age of the 22-kilometer (14-mile) lunar crater Giordano Bruno, the youngest crater of its size or larger on the Moon.
Based on the size of the crater, it must have been a one-to-three kilometer wide (a half-mile to almost 2-mile wide) asteroid that blasted Giordano Bruno into the Moon's northeast limb.
Bruno lived in the 16th Century, but his beliefs were ahead of his time -- including the notion of an infinite universe with millions of life-bearing planets (at a time when the geocentric worldview prevailed).

In the September 1976 issue of the journal Meteoritics, Jack Hartung proposed that a heavenly apparition described by five men in 1178 may have been the impact of a meteorite on the moon.
Hartung then goes to elaborate lengths to pinpoint the lunar latitude and longitude of the postulated impact and concludes that the crater Giordano Bruno is the perfect candidate for the impact scar.

 Lunar Impact or Heavenly Coincidence
Most of these impact craters are millions to billions of years old, carved out by whirling space debris from when the solar system was still growing.
But the Giordano Bruno crater — named for the 16th century Italian monk and philosopher known for his heretical views and eventually burned at the stake during the Spanish Inquisition — shows all the signs of being astronomically recent.
“Based on its extensive pattern of bright rays and uneroded morphology, Giordano Bruno is the youngest lunar crater of its size,” says Paul Withers, a graduate student in the Department of Lunar and Planetary Science at the University of Arizona.

Crater Lomonosov is a nice example for a large crater (92 kilometres in diameter) which was filled by lava after the impact, thus exhibiting a flat floor.
The terraced walls indicate 'slumping', that is sliding of the rocks downwards due to gravity after the end of the impact.
The small craters inside Lomonosov are the result of impacts into this lava floor which happened after the formation of Lomonosov.

 What medieval witnesses saw was not big lunar impact, grad student says
The idea that what humans witnessed and chronicled in A.D. 1178 was a major meteor impact that created the 22-kilometer (14-mile) lunar crater called Giordano Bruno is myth, a University of Arizona graduate student has discovered.
The idea that 12th century people saw the impact that created a lunar crater more than 10 times as wide as Meteor Crater in northern Arizona has been popular since it was first proposed 25 years ago.
A geologist suggested in 1976 that this account is consistent with the location and age of Giordano Bruno, the youngest crater of its size or larger on the moon.

The impact that formed the 20-kilometer-diameter crater was observed by five men on the evening of June 18, 1178, and was reported in medieval chronicles.
By combining the vertical strip with a second convergent strip, the geometry of the stereo view could be made stronger; hence, the ability to measure height differences would be better by a factor of 2.
These photographs were taken at high Sun illumination and show various geologic features such as mass-wasting debris on crater walls and numerous small, bright craters and topographic features that are barely visible monoscopically.

Three years ago, Paul Withers, a young graduate student at the University of Arizona, said that if a 22 km wide crater had formed that night, the Earth should have been bombarded with a magnificent meteor storm the next week as ejecta was swept up by our planet.

In Rome he was imprisoned for six years before he was tried, lastly in the Tower of Nona.
His trial, when it finally occurred, was overseen by the stern inquisitor, Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, who demanded a full recantation, which Bruno refused.
Four hundred years after his execution, a belated official Catholic expression of "profound sorrow" and acknowledgement of error at Bruno\'s condemnation to death was made, during the papacy of John Paul II.

 Student debunks famous lunar crater theory
In 1976, the astronomer Jack Hartung published a now-famous paper linking the eyewitness report to the formation of Giordano Bruno, a 14-mile-wide lunar crater that newly-available Apollo mission photos made a likely candidate for formation from an asteroid impact 8 centuries earlier.
In his paper, "Was the Formation of a 20-KM-Diameter Impact Crater On the Moon Observed on June 18, 1178," Hartung dissects the entire 300-word Gervase report, relating each sentence to the formation of crater Bruno.
Withers is certain no one witnessed such an event for a simple reason: while Gervase of Canterbury and five monks reported the supposed creation of Giordano Bruno, no one reported what would have been the much more spectacular aftermath.
