Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eadweard Muybridge's experiments with capturing motion using a series of cameras were initially aimed at settling the question of whether a horse ever lifts all its feet off the ground while galloping. This was a topic of debate at the time, and his photographic sequence successfully demonstrated that horses do indeed have all four hooves off the ground during part of their stride.
