Galileo Galilei was born in the Italian city of Pisa on February 15, 1564. Galileo discovered the first moons ever known to orbit a planet other than Earth and he discovered Juipter's four largest Moons which are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. He was also the first person to study the sky with a telescope. Also he discovered that Venus has phases like the moon. Then he founded Saturns Ring's. Next he discovered the moon has mountians. Finally he discovered how the Milky was is made up of Stars. While Galileo firmly believed in Copernicus’s theory that the Earth was not the center of the universe, he did not believe in his Kepler’s theory that the moon caused the tides.
Blaise was born in Clermont Ferrand on June 19, 1623. Blaise started working on a book called "Essay on Conics". At a tender age of 12, Pascal began participating in the meetings of a math academy. He learned different languages from his father, Latin and Greek in particular, but Pascal Sr. didn’t teach him math. Lastly, my intersting fact is pascal's development of probability theory was his most influential contribution to mathematics.
William Harvey was born on April 1, 1578 in Folkstone,
England. William Harvey was the first person to correctly describe blood’s circulation in the body. By the time he was 40, Harvey had won recognition as the best physician in London and was appointed as physician to the king – King James – in 1618. Lastly, After his death, he was buried in Hempstead, Essex.
He was born in London in 1713.John Needham, was an English naturalist and Roman Catholic cleric. He was the first clergyman to be appointed a fellow of the Royal Society of London. He faced harsh criticism from Voltaire, because he had tried to establish that tiny microscopic animals, or “anguilles” in his own words, can be developed spontaneously by natural forces, yet in a sealed container. Lastly, for my intersting fact it is there is a species of plant in Australia named after him called the Needhama.
In December 31 , 1514 Andreas was born in the city of Brussels. Andrea's founded Modern Anatonomy. His best book "De humini corporus fabrica" was a fully illistrauted anatonomy of the human body. Based on all of the dissection's he had done, the book overthrew misconceptions in anatomy that had persisted for over a thousand years. Finally one intersting fact about Andreas Vesalius was that he was offered the position of head of Surgery and Anatomy at Padua, immediately after his graduation from the University of Padua.

Francis Bacon was born in a wealthy family in London, England, on January 2, 1561. Bacon produced a large body of scientific work. His science produced no world-changing results, but his guidelines for how science should be carried out did. Galileo investigated the effect of gravity on falling bodies. He also tried to measure the speed of light but found it was too fast for him to measure. Lastly, he stated the principle of inertia: a body moving on a level surface will continue in the same direction at a constant speed unless disturbed. This later became Newton’s First Law of Motion.
Rene Descartes was born in 1596 in France. Descartes was one of the most influential persons in the Scientific Revolution. He wrote various books and papers about optics, and examined the rainbows. He declared there was no vacuum, but supported momentum conservation. Rene is credited as the first thinker to offer philosophical framework for natural sciences. Lastly, my intersting fact is Rene Descartes never got out of bed before 11 in the morning.
Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571. Kepler said that Mercury and Venus always seem to be close to the sun, unlike Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. This is because Mercury and Venus orbit closer to the sun than Earth’s. Kepler said that if the sun and all the planets orbited Earth, there is no reason why Mercury and Venus should always be near the sun. Finally, As a child Johannes Kepler suffered from smallpox. The disease left with crippled hands and a weak vision. This limited his ability to focus his energies on the observational aspect of astronomy.
Nicolas Copernicuas was born in the city of Torun,
on February 19, 1473. By publishing his evidence
that Earth orbits the sun, Nicolaus Copernicus relegated
our planet’s status from center of the universe to just another planet. In doing so, he began the scientific revolution. Lastly, he is sometimes called the father of modern astronomy because of his Heliocentric theory.
Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 in the tiny village of Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, Lincolnshire, Issac had lots of discoveries but one is he figured out that the tides are caused by gravitational interactions between the earth, the moon and the sun. Another one is he formulated his three laws of motion which are Newtons Laws which lie at the heart of the science of movement. Finally, An intersting fact is Newton disliked his mother’s new husband and did not join their household, living instead with his mother’s mother, Margery Ayscough.
