Galileo Galilei Biography

Hello there,


When I was just a little boy, only seven years old, i was sent to study at a jesuit monastary.
But at the age of 17 i decided to study medicine, just like my father wanted.

I made my first discovery when i was 20, I noticed a lamp swinging overhead. So, i timed it with my pulse, curious to see how long it took to swing back and forth. Then, i noticed it took the same time to swing back and forth. I had discovered the law of pendulum, which made me well know in only a matter of time.

Later on I decided to earn a living by tutoring in mathematics, and later earned a three year appointment in the University of Pisa.

When i discoered the telescope, my interest in the
I also  discovered the 4 moons of Jupiter. That's why they are referred to as the "Galilean Moons".

After hearing about a Dutch man who invented a spy glass, I was determined to make one myself.
In a matter of 24 hours, i made a telescope.

Thank you for reading.
