Why Was Galileo Famous?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Galileo proved that 2 different masses with similar shapes will fall at exactly the same speed in a vacuum. Galileo invented the telescope and, with it, discovered that Saturn had rings. Through observation he deduced there were more than 5 planets to our Galexcy. Unfortunately for him, he proved Cupernicus to be right. The Earth is not the center of our solar system, the Sun is. This so infurated the Catholic Curch at the time that Galileo was put to death for it.
