Galileo Galilei
The Founder of The Moons
Galileo Galilei was a very interesting scientist, who made extraordinary discoveries. With telescopes, Galileo made discoveries of the planets, stars, and moons. What was his life like when he was a child, what education did he have, what were his discoveries and what is he most famous for? How many years did it take him to find his discoveries? Galileo’s life when he was young was lovely. In his family he had a brother named Michelagnolo, father named Vincenzo, and a mother named Ammannati (Helden 1). His mom gave birth to him in Pisa, Italy. He was born on February 15, 1564 (The Famous People 1). He grew up in Pisa as well as in Florence (Westwall 4). All of this has made his young life lovely.
There no websites that say where he went to school for elementary school. Galileo did attend college back in Pisa, Italy. He moved back there because he wanted to go into University of Pisa. He went into the University because he wanted to study medicine (School of Mathematics and Statistics 1). The University of Pisa was founded in 1343. It is a public research school. His school that he attended when he was ten was in Florence and a monastery school (Brown 1). This is a type of school gives you an advanced education. …show more content…
One of which is when he found the four moons of Jupiter. This was his most famous discovery though, but was not his first observation. Galileo’s first observation was a supernova in the sky. He is also credited with making a better telescope than the one that was already in existence. The sad part is that most people back then thought that it was only illusion she was seeing in the sky and were not real (Erickson 1). Image doing all this work and people not believing you. That would be hard for me to take in and keep working. It would also want me to work so hard to prove them wrong and say, “Told you so”. That is when time is well
