BIOGRAPHY
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was an Italian physicist,
astronomer, and mathematician.
Born in Pisa, he was the son of merchants who allowed him to
be educated without a strong religious influence. Later, he
abandoned his medical studies to devote himself to
mathematics and physics, becoming a teacher and carrying
out important independent research.
Galileo's emphasis on observation and experiment advanced
the scientific method. His ideas challenged the Catholic
Church. In 1633, he was sentenced to house arrest, where he
continued his work until his death in Arcetri, near Florence.

IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS
Telescope Improvements: Galileo enhanced the telescope,
making it 30 times more powerful and enabling key discoveries in
space.
Support for Heliocentric Theory: He supported Copernicus'
idea that Earth orbits the Sun, challenging the belief that Earth
was the universe's center.
Law of Falling Bodies: Galileo proved that all objects fall at the
same speed, regardless of weight, debunking Aristotle's theory.
Galilean Moons: He discovered Jupiter’s four main moons,
showing that not all celestial bodies orbit the Earth.
Laws of Motion: Galileo laid the groundwork for modern physics
by defining key principles of motion, later expanded by Isaac
Newton.
