Galileo Galilei (from italy)
Galileo was the first astronomer to describe the surface features of the moon. Using a telescope, he observed mountains, valleys, and craters on the moon's surface, challenging the prevailing belief that celestial bodies were perfect and unblemished. His observations supported the idea that the moon and other celestial bodies were physical bodies similar to Earth.
The first people to calculate the size of the Earth and the Earth-Moon distance were the ancient Greek mathematician and astronomer, Eratosthenes, and the ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician, Hipparchus.
Galileo Galilei found that there were spots on the sun and craters on the moon.
The Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei was the first to observe that the moon had craters. He made this discovery in 1609 through his telescope.
