https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter (named the Galilean moons in his honour), and the observation and analysis of sunspots. Galileo also worked in applied science and technology, inventing an improved military compass and other instruments. en-us 2016-10-09 22:28:35 UTC 2025-10-25 06:04:37 UTC hello@padlet.com 08330826 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129368024 Look at this picture and use the prompt card to write some thoughts about this picture and of what you know about space.]]> 2016-10-09 22:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129368024 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129371732 If I could ask Galileo something i would ask him what are you looking for????

A caption for this image could be Galileo Watches the stars above.]]> 2016-10-09 23:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129371986 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372067 How did he know that there is something up in the sky?? And where did he get the time to do this or was this his job???]]> 2016-10-09 23:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372067 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372195 The thing that is happening in this picture is this, Galileo is looking through a telescope at the stars. He is probably testing his telescope.]]> 2016-10-09 23:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372195 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372490 If a photo had been taken a few minutes before this, I think we would see Galileo about to look into his telescope.
This reminds me of an advertisement I saw when I was little. It had all these people with telescopes so they can see the shining stars in the dark sky.]]> 2016-10-09 23:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372490 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372556 This pictures makes wonder if everything can be done by hand and is it worth it to buy lots expensive technology when you can do it with your own hands.]]> 2016-10-09 23:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372556 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372622 I wonder what's in that sky, there's probably a big cheese ball up there let's have a look]]> 2016-10-09 23:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372622 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372661 I think that what is happening in this photo is Galileo is examining the sky through his telescope and seeing if there is something new to space. 
The caption that i would give this photo would be 'Galileo looking through his telescope' ]]> 2016-10-09 23:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372661 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372714 What/who is not included in this photograph? Who/What could be present but is excluded/silent? I think maybe his family? Wife? Cousin? Sister? Assistant? Best mate? Maybe at the time the painter who painted this  picture was there.

If I could give this a caption, I would call it I 'Galileo's big discovery!']]> 2016-10-09 23:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372714 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372975 If I could ask Galileo a question, I would ask, " how long do you study space a day?" And " would you encourage people young and old to take an interest in space? 🛰🚀. I think someone from Galileo's family took the photo because who else would go into his house and take a photo of him working?]]> 2016-10-09 23:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129372975 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373082 This reminds me of many TV shows with people who are like Galileo, like looking at stars or something? 
I would like to learn more about his family. Why did he choose planets? Not others?]]> 2016-10-09 23:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373082 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373219 If I could ask Galileo a few questions I would ask him these questions. Did you work for NASA when you were younger and have you worked with another astronomer to find another planet.
If I could see beyond this image maybe I would see Galileo studying Pluto or another planet.]]> 2016-10-09 23:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373219 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373248 What was his reaction when he saw and named his very own planet?]]> 2016-10-09 23:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373248 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373474 Picture a few minutes after. I think a picture a few minutes after would of been the with the telescope. I wonder if you can buy a n ordinary telescope and if you can see any of the planets and see the moon?🔭.]]> 2016-10-09 23:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373474 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373805 If a photo was taken a few minutes before would there been someone there setting Galileo up in a position?
Is Galileo sitting in a light house?
Why do they now not often use telescopes for seeing planets is it because they use satellites instead?]]> 2016-10-09 23:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129373805 https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129377712 I think that the people who are silent/excluded in this photo are his family. 

How did he feel when he saw that 4 moons were named after him?]]> 2016-10-10 00:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/08330826/hf062vlyag3b/wish/129377712
