## Bio

Born in Pisa in 1564, Galileo studied motion, gravity, pendulums, built thermoscopes and military compasses, then improved the telescope and aimed it up. What he saw - Jupiter's four largest moons, Saturn's rings, the stars of the Milky Way, sunspots, lunar craters - fed his support for Copernican heliocentrism, the idea that Earth orbits the sun. The Roman Inquisition investigated in 1615 and declared his views contradicted scripture. In 1632 his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems appeared to mock Pope Urban VIII, alienating both the Pope and the Jesuits who had backed him. The Inquisition tried him, found him "vehemently suspect of heresy", forced a recantation, and placed him under house arrest for the rest of his life. He spent those years writing Two New Sciences, on kinematics and material strength, and died in 1642.
