  • Summary

  • In this episode of "Important Historical Figures," we explore the life and legacy of Galileo Galilei, the father of modern astronomy. From his early experiments in Pisa to his groundbreaking improvements to the telescope, Galileo's discoveries—including the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the rugged surface of the Moon—challenged the geocentric model and supported the heliocentric theory. Despite facing opposition from the Catholic Church and enduring house arrest, Galileo's work laid the foundation for modern physics and observational astronomy, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe.
