**Ben, Jeremy,  DeAnna , Yeahwon ** __ media type="custom" key="4887437" ** Scientific Methods ** __    -Made original contributions to science of motion through experiments and mathematics -A more typical science at the time was magnetism and electricity -Galileo’s father performed experiments, establishing the oldest-known non-linear relation in physics: for a stretched string -Galileo is perhaps the first to clearly state that laws of nature are mathematical -His mathematical analyses were further developments of a tradition employed by late scholastic natural philosophers. -Tried to remain loyal to Catholic Church, but because of his devotion to experimental answers and their honest understanding, it led to rejection of blind allegiance to authority. Philosophical and religious, in matters of science. -That aided separation from philosophy and religion; major development in human thought -Galileo was often willing to change his views with accordance of observation  __ ** //Fun Facts//** __ -Considered the “Father of modern science.” -Born in 1564 to Vincenzo Galilei who was a well-known musician -Galileo was put under house arrest -He gave a mathematical formulation to many physical laws -He gave us military compass. -Galileo became blind -His main contributions to science included his description of the motion of uniformly accelerated objects and observations in astronomy, which proved Copernicus’s theory that the earth revolved around the sun -He made improvements to the newly invented telescope and managed to make it with a 32x magnification -Made observations of Venus that supported the sun-centered solar system -There are theories that his being blind came from all of his telescopic studies -He was an Italian Astronomer, mathematician, and physicist -He eventually made a telescope to 40x the magnification -He noticed the large numbers of stars in the sky especially in the milky way __ Astronomy __ -He made an observation of the moons of Jupiter -He discovered the phases of Venus -January 7, 1610 Galileo found three fixed stars that were totally invisible. -On January 10, one them disappeared and he found out they were orbiting Jupiter which proved his theory -From September 1610, Galileo observed that Venus exhibited a full set of phases similar to that of the moon -Observed Saturn and at first mistook its rings for planets -Later saturns rings were directly oriented at earth -Galileo was one of the first Europeans to observe sunspots on the Sun -He discovered three of jupiters 4 largest moons, and discovered the fourth on January 13 -Later astronomers renamed that galilean satellites -He was very highly doubted, but Christopher Clavius confirmed his observations -The first to report lunar mountains and craters by the patterns of light and shadow on the moon’s surface -Galileo argued that stars were suns
