Galileo

They didn't know what the telescope was. It was an accident. They called it the telescope, and tried to figure out what it did. They figured out that it can see far away. They (hans lippershey,and others) sold it to the military, and further more found out it could see farther. They looked so far they saw space, and they started inventing different galaxies.

Craters.

Mountainous areas.

Also, the dark areas called "maria" are very prominent, mainly on the side of the Moon facing Earth.

The whole surface is covered in broken rock and dust. That's why astronauts left footprints.

Yes, there are several things named after Galileo Galilei, including the Galilean moons of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), the Galileo spacecraft mission to Jupiter, the Galileo space probe, and the Galileo thermometer. In addition, there are institutions, awards, and concepts in various fields that bear his name in honor of his contributions to science.

In 1574, at the age of 10, Galileo's family sent him to the monastery of Santa Maria di Vallombrosa, near Florence, because his father wanted him to study medicine (a well-paying profession). But Galileo was interested in mathematics. At the age of 17, he entered the University of Pisa to study medicine, as his father wished, but then changed his major from medicine to mathematics and physics.

He was educated at the University of Pisa, a very well-respected educational center at the time.

Galileo Galilei fathered three children out of wedlock with Marina Gamba. They had two daughters, Virginia in 1600 and Livia in 1601, and one son, Vincenzo, in 1606. Reference: wikipedia

Galileo used a telescope to make his astronomical discoveries. By observing the night sky through the telescope, he found evidence to support the heliocentric model of the solar system and discovered the moons of Jupiter, among other things.

Galileo made substantial contributions to the scientific revolution by conducting experiments on motion and gravity, promoting the heliocentric theory of the solar system, and developing the telescope for astronomical observations. His work laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy.

Galileo stated the law of motion. Newton expanded upon it with his three laws of motion, and Einstein introduced his theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of motion and gravity. Fermi was a physicist known for his work on developing the atomic bomb and his contributions to quantum theory.

Galileo changed history by expressing his idea that the Earth and all of the planets revolved around the sun. Before Galileo everyone thought that all objects in space revolved around the Earth. Galileo changed this, and put the idea of everything orbiting around the Sun.

True.......though he was a person we will always rember............

Galileo did not discover Saturn. It was know of by the ancients. It can be seen at certain time without the aid of instruments.

I am recently studying for a report on Galileo and the book I am reading says that his brothers and sisters were born between 1573 and 1591.

In 1633 the Roman Catholic Church forced Galileo to stand trial for his belief that the Earth moves around the Sun. Galileo had to publicly denounce the idea and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He spent the the rest of his life under house arrest. Galileo became blind before he died at Arcetri, near Florence, on January 8, 1642.

No. Galileo was a Christian who believed the world was a globe rather than a flat surface. He was supported by the Jesuit order of the Roman Catholic church. The more common belief was that if you sailed too far you would fall off of the earth. The earth was considered a flat plain rather than a round sphere. Galileo went against the grain of common thinking! This common misconception was also very prevalent within the medieval church. The Bible does not tell us that the world was flat but this was an interpretation that most people accepted. Galileo was persecuted for his radical thinking! The Bible refers to the "circle of the earth" and states that there was a great dome above it prior to the deluge that covered the face of the planet. The waters above the earth may have collapsed and changed the entire atmosphere. Only Noah and his family were saved from this destruction. The Illuminati are in stark contrast to the traditions of the church. They are a secret society which may or may not exist in the modern world. Galileo challenged the prevailing thought within the church but he was not against the teachings of scripture. Science will add to our understanding of the scriptures but it does not contradict the basic tenants of our faith. It is possible to follow the true orthodox teachings of the Bible and still challenge the commonly accepted tenants of modern science. The Illuminati, on the other hand, may be a system of thought that actually challenges the authority of the scripture. It is an alternative solution to man's imperfection and the forces that sustain continual world chaos. It is an attempt to replace the Judeo-Christian experience in order to bring about a new world order. For this one reason, some people might assume that Galileo was also a member of this secret society. The original response to this question was a simple "no". I find no reason for us to disagree although, of course, such matters are supposed to be a secret!

Galileo Galilei studied physics, mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. He made significant contributions to the development of modern science, including improvements to the telescope and observations of the heavens that supported the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Galileo invented the TELESCOPE NOT THE microscope! The invention occured in l609.This paralelled the discovery of Manhattan by Henry Hudson. He was certainly a mature man at the time(Galileo) By the way the Italian optical firm Officina Galileo which was established in the mid-late l9th century was named in his honor, somebody asked if anything was done posthujously to honor Galileo. The name literally translated means Galileo Office, some wouldsay, colloquially Galileo workshop.

actually, Galileo did not invent the telescope, he just made it better, and the version he made, is still used today.

yup he just made it more complex

Galileo Galilei was known for his contributions to the field of astronomy, particularly his discovery of the four largest moons of Jupiter known as the Galilean moons. He also played a significant role in the advancement of the scientific method and is often referred to as the "father of modern observational astronomy." Galileo's support for the heliocentric model of the solar system placed him in conflict with the Catholic Church.

probably. just think. pets are there when people need something to comfort them. Galileo had questioned the religious ways of the spinning globe, and thus the christian pope plotted against him and everyone drew back from him, not wanting to except his new discovery. wouldn't it be perfect for him to have a dog or cat or mouse with him when he was trapped in that guarded little island on whom he was trapped in? who would comfort him when he had turned blind?

Galileo had three children and obviosly a wife. His kids names were Virginia and Livia his daughters. His son was named Vincenzo. His wife went by the name of Marina Gamba.
galileos brother was michelangelo, his mom was marina gamba, his dad was vincenzo galilei

Galileo Galilei was a physicist, mathematician, philosopher and astronomer. He had 6 siblings, however, only 3 survived during birth and thire names are not known.

1. Galileo is a scientist who supported the idea of the heliocentric model created by Copernicus.

2. He was the first person to find that Jupiter has four moons.

3. He improved the first telescope made by Hans Lippershey by adding one concave lens and one convex lens instead of two concave lenses.

4.He discovered the sun spots

5.He thought Saturn's rings were planets

6.He discovered lunar mountains and craters

7. he was a professor of mathematics at the university of Padua.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician and engineer, who contributed largely to the scientific revolution. He invented a pendulum clock, which was inspired by a swinging chandelier in the Cathedral of Pisa.
