Galileo Galilei
Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de 'Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polyam, from Pisa. Galileo has been called "the father of observational astronomy", "the father of modern physics", "the father of the scientific method" and "the father of modern science". Galileo studies speed and velocity, gravity and free fall, the principles of relativity, inertia and ballistic motion and also works in applied science and technology, describing the properties of balances and "hydrostatic balance". He invented the thermometer lens and various types of military compasses, and used the telescope to scientifically see celestial objects. His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the observation of the four largest satellites of Jupiter, the observation of the rings of Saturn, and the analysis of traces.

Inventor Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy on February 15, 1564. He dies at the age of 77, on January 8, 1642.

His achievements included establishing Venus's phases, identifying four of Jupiter's moons, and creating the thermoscope, which was the forerunner to the thermometer. He was a key actor in the scientific revolution, and his support for the heliocentric theory, which asserted that the earth circled around the sun, earned him the wrath of the Catholic Church.
