Italian physicist and astronomer
Its main contribution to astronomy is
The telescope
Which observes and discovers
•Sunspots•Moon-valleys•The four satellites of JupiterPhases of Venus
•Laws governing falling bodies•Projectile motion
In the history and culture
•Symbol of struggle against authority and freedom of research.
Physical
Born in Pisa in 1564 and die in 1642.
His father, Vincenzo Galilei, figured prominently in the music.
Taught by monks at Vallombroso.

Galileo Galilei was an astronomer, philosopher, Italian mathematician and physicist who is closely
associated with the scientific revolution.
• It has been considered the "father of modern astronomy", the "father of modern physics" and the "father of science”.
His work is considered a breach of the settled of Aristotelian physics and its confrontation with the Inquisition of the Roman Catholic Church is usually
presented as the best example of conflict between religion and science in Western society.
Galileo Galilei is a great mathematician and physical scientist excel in other areas leaves us a
legacy different thoughts and elements for the present and introduces us to different science
topics.
