Galileo Galilei: Biography
|
Life of Galileo
Galileo Galilei was born in 1564. An Italian scientist, Galileo, made one of the first telescopes--it was
about as powerful as binoculars--and turned it on the heavenly bodies
with wonderful results. He found the sun moving unmistakably on its axis,
Venus showing phases according to her position in relation to the sun,
Jupiter accompanied by revolving moons, or satellites, and the Milky Way
composed of a multitude of separate stars. Galileo rightly believed that
these discoveries confirmed the theory of Copernicus. He died in 1642.
