Galileo Galilei

2.50 (4 votes)

Document Description

Considered the Father of Modern Astronomy because he was the first to use a telescope to observe celestial objects. His greatest accomplishment was proving the Copernican Heliocentric Cosmology to be correct. However, his conclusions (and style of presentation) caused a conflict with the ruling Catholic authorities.
