Galileo was a brilliant Italian physicist in his day. He had many achievments in his lifetime including improvments to the telescope, sun spots on the sun and observing the moons of Jupiter. A common name Galilei has been called throughout history is 'father of science', 'father of modern physics' and 'father of observational astronomy'. An interesting fact that I did not know before listening to the podcast was the fact that he was very poor and had five other siblings. Also, he was very determined to be a priest when he was a child, but was forced into medicine by his father and then eventually discovered his love of astronomy. These are just a few of Galileo's great accomplishments and details of his life.
