Galilei…
*Galileo was recognized by the curious way he used to get
people to know his discoveries while preserving the paternity of
their findings.

achievements as improving the telescope, the first law
of motion, his astronomical observations and support for
Copernicanism determinant.
• By promoting the work of Copernicus, Galileo was sentenced to life
imprisonment, but then it was only one arrest.
• He was a devout Catholic.
• According to legend, Galileo began his study of the pendulum while watching a
lamp swinging in the cathedral of Pisa.
• He built the first thermometer.
• Galileo once said: "I think that in the discussion of natural problems, we
should begin not with the Scriptures, but with
experiments and demonstrations.
He accepted the challenge of determining
the size of Dante's Inferno.

development of the telescope that helps us see the
Astros.
