  | | Galileo Galilei | |
  | | Today we all know what our galaxy looks like and we can count the stars. | |
  | | We must thank Galileo Galilei for this. | |
  | | He was the one who invented the telescope. | |
  | | Thanks to him, we know that the Earth revolves around the sun. | |
  | | At that time, the church taught that the Earth was the center of the Universe. | |
  | | The Pope arrested Galileo. | |
  | | He was under house arrest for the rest of his life. | |
  | | While he was under house arrest, he kept writing on physics and astronomy. | |
  | | Scientists call Galileo the father of modern physics. | |
  | | He was also an astronomer. | |
  | | He discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter. | |
  | | Those moons are called "the Galilean moons" in his honor. | |
  | | Galileo Galilei died in 1642 at the age of 77. | |
