GALILEO’S BIRTH AND DEATH DATE
Galileo was born on
the 15th of February
1564 in Pisa, Italy.
Galileo died on the
8th of January 1642 in
Arcetri, Italy.
GALILEO’S TELESCOPE
Galileo made his first telescope in
1609. He didn’t really invent the
telescope. It was actually created
by a Dutch spectacle maker,(Hans
Lipperhey,) but when Galileo found
out he made his own. His magnified
objects twenty times, where as the
first one could only magnified
objects three times. Over time
Galileo slowly improved his
telescope.
GALILEO AND THE SUN
For years people thought the sun orbited around the
Earth. Nicoulas Copernicus made a scientific guess
that the Earth revolved around the Sun. A few years
after Nicoulas’s death, Galileo was born. In 1610
Galileo used his telescope to confirm Nicoulas’s
hypothesis. The Earth actually revolved around the Sun
instead of visa versa. He also discovered the moon has
creators. This to he discovered with his telescope.
THE SOLAR SYSTEM
THE PENDULUM
The pendulum was discovered by
Galileo. The way he discovered the
pendulum, is that one day Galileo was
bored , he was sitting in a church, and
he saw the candelabra swinging, that
gave him the idea of the pendulum.
With the pendulum he made the
pendulum clock, to tell time more
accuartly. The pendulum also came
into play in many other inventions.
WHAT WOULD TODAY BE LIKE WITH OUT GALILEO’S
DISCOVERIESIf Galileo hadn’t made his discoveries we wouldn’t
know the Earth isn’t the center of the universe, we
wouldn’t have a pendulum, or the pendulum clock,
and finally we would know little about the solar
system.
