Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8
January 1642) was a Tuscan physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and
philosopher who played a major role in the scientific revolution. His
achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent
astronomical observations, and support
for Copernicanism.
 Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy" the "father of modern physics", the "father of science", and “the Father of Modern Science. The motion of uniformly accelerated objects, taught in nearly all high school and introductory college physics courses, was studied by Galileo as the subject of kinematics. 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, improving compass design.
