Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy on February 15, 1564. He was a gifted astronomer and physicist. Many of Galilei’s inventions resonate today, more than four-hundred years later. \This innovative man invented many things that are still used. He is the known creator of the thermometer (1606) and the telescope (1609). He also generated the concept of Venus’s phases (1610), Jupiter’s satellites (1610), Saturn’s rings (1610), and proved Copernicus’s heliocentric theory (1616).
In his earlier years, Galileo’s father decided he wanted his son to become a doctor. While Galilei was studying medicine in university, he discovered his advanced skill in mathematics. He was eventually able to convince his father to allow him to tutor math and become a professor. Galilei was able to use his talent to develop the spyglass into something more complex, now known as a telescope. …show more content…
Inside this liquid floats smaller glass basins filled with various densities that will rise or sink depending on the fluctuating temperature. The vessel closest to the top is the one that is to be read as the current temperature.
In 1610, Galilei used his newly invented telescope to observe Venus’s phases, the four moons of Jupiter, and the rings of Saturn. He was also the first to note sunspots, which is the assumed cause of his blindness later on in his lifetime. Galileo Galilei had a huge impact on today’s world of physics, astronomy, and science in
