Galileo Galilei born in 1564




Galileo Galilei, born February 15, 1564, is know as the father of observational astronomy, the father of modern physics and the father of science.  He discovered the first four moons of Jupiter, which are named the Galilean moons in his honor. 

The Catholic church attacked him when announced that the earth revolved around the sun, instead of the other way around.
