There was a taught expirement, that Galileo never made. The experiment included

two balls out of the same material, but different weight. His theory stated taht heavier

items fall faster then lighter. As stated before, there was no record of Galileo doing this expirement.

In 1624 Galileo perfected a compoumd

microscope. He sent one to Cardinal

Zollern in May of that year for

presentation to the Duke of Bavaria,

and another one to Prince Cesi.

Microscope came from the Greek

words μικρόν (micron) meaning

"small", and σκοπεῖν (skopein)

meaning "to look at".

Galileo Galilei

Born 15 February 1564

Died 8 January 1642

Statue outside the Uffizi, Florence

In 1593 Galileo constructed a thermometer

using the expansion and contraction of air

in a bulb to move water in an attached tube.

Galileo was known as an Italian physicist,

mathematician, astronomer and philosopher.

He played a big role in scientific revolution.

Some of his biggest achievments where improvement on the telescope, astronomical observations and the support of Copernicanism.

In 1609, along with Englishman Thomas Harriot

and others, Galileo was the first to use a refracting

telescope as an instrument to observe stars, planets

and moons. The name telescope came from the Greek words tele = 'far' and skopein = 'to look or see'.
