Galileo

Mario Livio is an astrophysicist and author of Galileo and the Science Deniers.

It made a move into the B2B realm with its acquisition last April of Galileo.

The best views of the moon’s landscape are from the Galileo orbiter in the 1990s, and the smallest features it could see were half a kilometer across.

As an astronomer, he observed features on the moon and spotted the moons of Jupiter, possibly even before Galileo.

According to legend, Galileo dropped weights off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, showing that gravity causes objects of different masses to fall with the same acceleration.

Along with Galileo, it represents Brecht at his epic apogee.

Aristotle and Galileo looked up at the same lights in the night sky.

Aristotle saw a universe with a stationary earth at the center and Galileo saw a universe with the earth in motion about the sun.

His birth might also be remembered as occurring in the same year as that of the great astronomer Galileo.

Already Galileo began to encounter vulgar indignation which accused him of impiety.

Against Galileo, the war against the Copernican theory was concentrated.

Their wisdom in this will be best appreciated from the fact that none of Galileo's reasons maintained themselves.

Thus Galileo came very near to inventing both the thermometer and the barometer, but yet invented neither!
