His father was a famed musician, and even took part in some of Galileo's experiments from 1588 and 1589.]]> 2018-04-30 21:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/alexismariecohen/gjf861iav73c/wish/256706298 The Telescope alexismariecohen https://padlet.com/alexismariecohen/gjf861iav73c/wish/256708009 Galileo Galilei was the first person to use the telescope to study the stars, though he did not invent it. With this telescope, however, he improved the spyglass and discovered four of Jupiter's moons (Io, Callisto, Europa and Ganymede), the rings of Saturn, and phases of the moon.]]> 2018-04-30 21:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alexismariecohen/gjf861iav73c/wish/256708009 Discovery Of Neptune alexismariecohen https://padlet.com/alexismariecohen/gjf861iav73c/wish/256708564 People have also believed that Galileo may have actually been the first person in history to discover Neptune, though he didn’t consider it a planet at first. He only believed that it was a faint star. University of Melbourne physicist David Jamieson says, "Computer simulations show the precision of his observations revealing that Neptune would have looked just like a faint star almost exactly where Galileo observed it."
He was said to have found it in 1613, three years after using the telescope.

This eventually sent him to imprisonment in 1633, (house arrest) being convicted of heresy (he believed something that the Church did not, this was a personal offense.).

So, he conducted his own experiments and discovered that the balls ‘boasted the same acceleration independent of their mass’, according to Space.com
He also designed and built the first Pendulum Clock, to help people keep better track of time.

Including the law of if an object is heavier, it will fall faster. If it is lighter, it will fall slower.

One that was fairly notable was a young boy named Michelangelo, who was a musician like their father. Though Galileo wasn’t a musician like his father urged him to be, their relationship remained fairly well, 
Galileo had no children, and had never once been married, but it is said how he had a brief affair with a woman named Marina Gamba, someone he had met on his many trips to Venice.
