Aristarchus of Samos
Isaac Newton
Answer
Isaac Newton didn't influence Hipparchus' work because he lived hundreds of years later. Hipparchus was a Greek astronomer and mathematician who lived in the second century BC. He is best known for his work on the motions of the Moon and the Sun, and for his invention of the astrolabe, an early astronomical instrument. Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries.
