Galileo's Accomplishments

Galileo later then expanded on Copernicus’s theory and to prove it, Galileo and made the telescope better. He saw the farthest into the universe than anyone before. He saw that there were craters on the surface of the moon. He saw that there were spots on to sun. Galileo was that there were multiple moons were orbiting Jupiter. He observed Venus moving through phases much like Earth’s moon. This information persuaded Galileo that Copernicus was right. Just as Jupiter’s moons orbited that giant planet other planets like Earth and Venus must orbit the sun. Galileo’s findings were explosive; they helped Copernican theory, which the government of the Catholic Church, the Vatican, condemned. With science, scientist proved the Church wrong with the most basic concept that the Earth was the center of God’s universe. …show more content…
Not only did that math was the language of the universe, he proved the existence of gravity. From Newton come the next giant leap came in the twentieth century. Sir Isaac Newton studies the law of gravity. Albert Einstein introduced an entire new way of understanding gravity, space, and time. Einstein started out thinking that the universe was static. He rejected the idea the universe was expanding. And that an explosion of a God particle sent all matter racing into space at high speeds. At first Einstein dismissed this ide, but then he read the works of an American astronomer that explained the relationship between velocity and distance, in a way that strongly supported the concept that Einstein rejected. These discoveries raised even more questions. Some say that the universe did take shape in a big bang, and that a big bang will destroy it, others say that the universe all was has been and always will be. These scientists changed the way we view our solar system and without discoveries or studies like these, astronomy wouldn’t be the way it is
