Galileo's Timeline
(http://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/galileo-galilei-123.php)
Here are some of Galileo's accomplishments. He also invented the first thermometer in 1606. All of his inventions led to better inventions that we use today!
It is important to understand the background of Galileo because he contributed so much to science, math and astrology. He was known as a "free thinker" and expressed his views that brought him so much grief with the church.
I liked how he followed his dreams and became what he wanted, despite what the majority of people believed. His beliefs put him under house arrest with threats of torture. However, I disliked how he never married the mother of his three children and sent his girls into a convent.
