Galileo

The four largest moons of Jupiter discovered by Galileo are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

No, Galileo was not the first person to look through a telescope. The invention of the telescope is credited to Hans Lippershey, a Dutch eyeglass maker, around 1608. Galileo improved upon the design and used it to make groundbreaking astronomical discoveries.

Eudoxus believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, with the stars, planets, and the Sun orbiting around it in perfect circular motion. This geocentric model was later refined and expanded upon by other ancient Greek astronomers.

Galileo's gravestone inscription is "Here lies Galileo Galilei, mathematician and astronomer, condemned by the Inquisition for teaching that the earth moves, and stop here passerby and read with pity the fate of the father of science."

Kay Hans Lipphershey invented the telescope because he was a lensmaker. at the time his kids were playing outside when they discovered it, Hans didnt really create it it was his kids but he took the credit from them. people think that Galileo also created it but he did not. he took it a step further from Lipphersheys idea and just made it better. so they should both be credited. he created it also for the scientists and mathematicians in that time could study the planets and solar system. by Liam

He was under house arrest for 10 years until his death.

Galileo's theories, particularly regarding the heliocentric model of the solar system and the laws of motion, were groundbreaking and have been shown to be largely correct. His work laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy.

Galileo's most famous apprentice was Evangelista Torricelli, who went on to make significant contributions in physics and mathematics. Torricelli is best known for inventing the barometer and for his work in fluid mechanics and the study of the vacuum.

Yes, Galileo had a patron in the form of Cosimo II de' Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Cosimo II supported Galileo both financially and academically, allowing him to pursue his scientific endeavors.

Assumptions:

1) You throw it straight up. No angle, nothing.

2) Answers.com removed your punctuation, thus you meant initial speed of 39 m/s

3) No air resistance

4) Your "throw" begins at the ground (meaning you're not counting the height of the person)

Answer = 39 m/s

Reasoning: With nothing but the acceleration of gravity to slow it, it will slow to a stop, then accelerate and return along the same path. With no resistance, it will accelerate to the same velocity as its initial velocity by the time it reaches the point of origin.

Fun Fact: Feel free to try this. I recommend using a hackey-sack and laying on your back while you throw upward.

Sir Isaac Newton left school for a little while due to the outbreak of the Great Plague in London, which forced the closure of the University of Cambridge where he was studying. Newton returned to his family's farm in Woolsthorpe during this time.

Telescope

Actually, Galileo did not invented the telescope. But he did build his own, improved telescope. His was the 1st telescope strong enough to actually view the planets and stars in space.

The first telescope (called a spy glass) used one convex lens and one concave lens. Galileo perfected it by using two convex lenses.

Galileo also invented the Geometric compass which was use for calculations and for measurements

The pendulum clock was another invention Galileo worked on but it was invented by Christian Huggens

im not sure but i also think he invented the thermometer and barometer but u should search for it

Antonio discovered that Narciso was shot and left to die in a field by the Trementina gang. He also learned that Narciso was a kind and caring man who had protected Ultima's owl and had tried to help others in the community.

The earliest know working telescopes appeared in 1608 by Hans Lippershey.

No, Galileo was not able to see the rings of Saturn through his telescope. The resolution of his telescope was not powerful enough to distinguish the rings, so he mistakenly described Saturn as having "ears" or handle-like appendages. It was only later astronomers with more advanced telescopes who were able to see and identify Saturn's rings.

False. Galileo believed that the natural state of an object was to be in motion. He famously challenged the Aristotelian idea that objects naturally came to rest.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer during the Renaissance period, which followed the Middle Ages. He is often referred to as the "father of observational astronomy" and the "father of modern physics."

Galileo's muse was his passion for observation, experimentation, and the pursuit of truth in the field of astronomy and physics. He was inspired by the beauty and complexity of the natural world, which drove him to challenge existing scientific beliefs and develop his groundbreaking theories.

The theory of inertia was first formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in his first law of motion, also known as Newton's first law. Newton proposed that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Yes, the invention of the telescope led to further advancements in science and technology, including improvements in optics, astronomy, and the development of other optical instruments. It revolutionized our understanding of the universe and paved the way for discoveries such as the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.

Galileo challenged the prevailing belief that the moon was a perfect, unchanging sphere by observing its surface through a telescope and documenting its craters and mountains. His observations provided evidence that the moon's surface was not smooth and unblemished as previously thought. This challenged traditional beliefs about the perfection of celestial bodies and laid the foundation for modern observational astronomy.

Galileo believed the heliocentric view of the universe was correct based on his observations through a telescope, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. These observations provided evidence supporting the idea that the Earth revolved around the Sun, challenging the geocentric view supported by the Catholic Church at the time.

Galileo abjured his scientific findings and beliefs in 1633 because he was facing the threat of torture and death by the Roman Catholic Church for his defense of the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. By recanting his views, Galileo avoided further persecution and ensured his survival.

Both Aristotle and Galileo triggered a Paradigm Shift.

Galileo mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'.

To be honest a universe with or without earth as centre doesn't matter that much

Probably Newton made more difference, only would there have been a 'Newton' without Galilei

But also Newton mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'.

Aristotle cause a Major Paradigm shift in The Western World. A reality Redesign.

One that changed the view about reality from a holistic view (The One, The Fire, The All, ..) in a creationist view. Physical common sense reality + supreme God.
