Who he was
Galileo Galilei, born in Pisa in 1564, taught mathematics at Pisa and Padua and studied how bodies fall and swing. In 1609 he built a telescope of his own; with it he saw the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus and the mountains of the Moon.
His defence of Copernicus, that the Earth moves around the Sun, led the Roman Inquisition to condemn him in 1633. He spent his last years under house arrest near Florence and died in 1642.
