The 1500's was considered the Renaissance (although, perhaps late in the Renaissance movement). I'll hit this a little from both ends.
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 to 1519) was considered a great inventor, scientist, and painter. He had several detailed anatomy studies, and made drawings of weapons, "flying machines", helicopters, and bridges. Many of his drawings never were built, or weren't attempted for another 500 years.
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 to 1543) is often considered the father of modern Astronomy. Aristotle had placed the earth in the center of the universe and the planets and sun orbiting around the earth which didn't fit well. Copernicus changed this with the sun as the center of the universe and the earth and planets orbiting around the sun.

What was Galileo's greatest scientific discovery?
In my opinion, his greatest discoveries were those about the nature of the solar system. His telescopic observations led to the start of a great revolution in the attempt to understand the nature of the objects in the sky. He discovered moons of Jupiter and the fact that Saturn has a system of rings.He also corrected some misunderstandings about gravity. He proved that a pendulum's period was a factor of the length of the pendulum, not the length of the arc of the pendulum's swing. This led to pendulum clocks. He also postulated and proved that an objects rate of fall when dropped is independent of its weight. It had previously been assumed that heavier object fall faster than lighter objects by nature.He also discovered the unwillingness of the Catholic Church to abandon superstitious dogma in favour of rational scientific thought.
