✅ "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞" 🔭:
Galileo was born on 15 February 1564 in Pisa, Italy . He studied medicine at the University of Pisa but soon turned to mathematics and physics . He became a professor of mathematics, first at Pisa and then at the University of Padua, where he conducted his most important experiments . In 1609, he heard of the invention of the telescope and built his own, turning it to the heavens and making groundbreaking discoveries that would change the world.

Key Discoveries:

The Moons of Jupiter – He discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter, proving that not everything orbited the Earth

The Phases of Venus – He observed that Venus went through phases, proving it orbited the Sun

The Rings of Saturn – He observed Saturn's rings, though he did not understand them

Sunspots – He observed sunspots, showing that the Sun was not perfect

The Mountains of the Moon – He discovered that the Moon had mountains and craters

✅ "𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐞𝐭 𝐈𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬" 🌌:
Galileo's advocacy of the heliocentric model (the Sun at the centre of the solar system) brought him into conflict with the Catholic Church . He was tried by the Inquisition in 1633 and found "vehemently suspect of heresy" . He was forced to recant his views and spent the rest of his life under house arrest . According to legend, after his recantation, he muttered: "And yet it moves" (Eppur si muove) – a defiant assertion of the truth he knew.

✅ "𝐀 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞" 🕊️:
Galileo's influence is immeasurable:

Father of Modern Science – His methods and discoveries transformed science

The Scientific Method – He emphasised observation, experimentation, and mathematical analysis
