Galileo

Galileo's family likely knew Jacopo Borghini through their shared connections in the intellectual and scholarly circles of Florence. Borghini was a prominent figure in the Florentine humanist movement, and his interest in literature and philosophy would have overlapped with the interests of Galileo's family. It is possible that they met through mutual friends or through their associations with the Medici court.

Although Galileo's telescope was the first to be used for astronomical purposes, he didn't invent

the telescope.

A man named Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope. Many people claimed to have invented the telescope however Hans Lipperhey was the only one to apply for a patent.

The philosophy promoted by the ancient Greeks and adopted by Christian philosophers was that the heavenly realm was divine and perfect. I'm not sure how they accounted for the blemishes upon the lunar surface. But for essentially religious reasons the earth was assumed to represent the center of all existence. The findings of science upset this view which had dominated human thought for thousands of years. The conflict continues to this day, though as far as solar system models are concerned the scientists have taken the field.

"Nevertheless, it moves" is attributed to Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, who reportedly muttered the phrase after being forced by the Catholic Church to renounce his belief that the Earth moved around the sun. This statement reflects his revolutionary support for the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Galileo Galilei was the Italian physicist put on trial in 1633 for supporting the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus, which stated that the Earth revolved around the sun. This was considered heretical by the Catholic Church at the time.

Galileo's improved telescope allowed him to observe detailed features of celestial bodies, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. These observations provided evidence that not all celestial bodies orbit Earth, supporting the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus.

He could only make out four of Jupiters' largest moons.

Galileo Galilei discovered four moons orbiting around Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), in 1610. These discoveries played a significant role in changing the understanding of the solar system at the time.

Galileo was tried by the Roman Catholic Church for advancing the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun (heliocentrism) in conflict with Church teachings of the time. He was found guilty of heresy in 1633 and was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life.

he lived for a 597 years in berlin ontario

Galileo Galilei never married but was in a stable relationship with a woman named Marina Gamba for twelve years.

In some sort Galileo was not important to the church,

but many people learned from him very much the planets

rotate around the sun. incredible am I correct?

He taught us so very much and thanks to him some of

us are out stargazing with our telescopes.

Galileo saw the four moons of Jupiter orbiting Jupiter, so he knew that the planets didn't orbit around the Earth.

Jupiter has the Galilean moons.

So called because they were the first moons of Jupiter, discovered by Galileo using the new telescope.

Galileo pioneered the idea of observation and experimentation in Physics. The "example" to show this was Aristotle theorized how many teeth was in a Horses Mouth, Galileo looked and counted the teeth. In other cases Galileo looked thru the Telescope to see the moons. Finally he experimented with inclined planes to prove that the acceleration was the same for heavy and light masses and was famous for his Leaning Tower of Pisa Experiment.

Saturn was the first planet discovered to have rings. They were first observed by Galileo Galilei in 1610 through his telescope.

The observation that led Galileo to conclude that the sun rotated was when he looked through his telescope and noticed that their were sunspots on the sun. He later looked through the telescope once again and couldn't see the sunspots.

Galileo Galilei was put on trial by the Inquisition for advocating the heliocentric model of the universe, which contradicted the geocentric views of the Catholic Church at the time. His writings that supported the findings of Copernicus were considered heretical by the Church, leading to his trial and subsequent conviction.

he was a happy camper the compass and he invented the telescope.

Actually he improved the telescope, he didn't invent it. Hans Lippershey invented it. He's from the Netherlands. Galileo improved the telescope by making it magnify 3 times as much.

Galileo Galilei was a physicist, an astronomer, and a mathematician. He improved the telescope, and was the first person to use it to study the skies. He was the first to see the four moons of Jupiter and the first to discover the rings of Saturn. he invented the rings of saturn and he dicoverd the comuter . xx happy reading

Galileo carried out his first experiment on gravity by dropping weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. This famous experiment is said to have demonstrated that objects of different masses fall at the same rate due to gravity.

Copernicus' heliocentric model provided the framework for Galileo to further explore and confirm through his observations with the telescope. Galileo's discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, provided empirical evidence in support of the heliocentric model and contributed to its acceptance over the geocentric model.

Galileo Galilei is most famous for his development and improvement of the telescope, his support of the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus, his discoveries in astronomy (such as the moons of Jupiter and sunspots), and his struggle with the Catholic Church over his beliefs.

Aristotle believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe, with the sun, moon, planets, and stars revolving around it in perfect circular orbits. This geocentric model of the universe dominated Western thought for centuries until it was replaced by the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus and further developed by Galileo and Kepler.

Galileo Galilei 15 February 1564 -- 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. He played a mayor part in the advancement of the scientific point of view, Making many discovery's of his own but also working on the work done by many other scientists that came before him.

Galileo had a theory, it was that the earth was NOT in the centre of the solar system like everyone thought, he made the first telescope and proved everyone wrong by looking into space and seeing that the sun was in the centre of the solar system, not the earth, doing this he also invented the telescope.
