Description: A detailed account of Galileo's early influences and summary of important events in his efforts to prove heliocentricity.
Skyscript: The Life and Work of Galileo by Deborah Houlding In physics Galileo is remembered for discovering the laws of failing bodies and motions of projectiles; in astronomy he is known for pioneering telescopic observation and, through this, discovering sunspots, the irregular surface of the Moon, the satellites of Jupiter, and the phases of Venus. Most of all, he is remembered for championing Copernicus' Sun-centred universe and prompting the split that freed scientific knowledge from the restrictions of spiritual belief. Imprisoned in old-age for repeatedly publishing his views, his name has become immortalised as an emblem of resistance against the oppression of Truth.
