When I watched TV the other day, it was broadcast about Galileo Galilei, and this book was chosen because I had had the concern then. Moreover, because I had wanted to know, I thought a terrible old person to be a good chance more than now.
Galileo Galilei was an astronomer and physicist who lived in Italy in the 16th century. He was the first person to use a telescope powerful enough to see many of the planets and stars, and he discovered a lot of important facts about astronomy. Galileo is sometimes called the father of modern science, because he was one of the first people to carry out experiments and to use observation to find out about the world around him. Galileo was born in 1564. After finishing school, he studied medicine at the University of Pisa. However he left after four years to become a meth mastics teacher.
In 1589, Galileo returned to University of Pisa to be a professor of mathematics. Then, in 1592, he moved to the University of Padua and worked there fore the next eighteen years. Throughout this time, Galileo studied astronomy and did a lot of scientific experiments.
Galileo was one of the first scientists to use observation that is, to watch something and see what happens. For almost a thousand years, most scientists had been using the ideas of earlier scientists without question. These scientists usually tried to make whatever they saw fit into those old ideas. By using observation and doing his own experiments, Galileo made a lot of important discoveries in both astronomy and opysics. (294 words)
