- (Galileo Galilei) (gl´´l´; gäll´ gäll´) (KEY) , 15641642, great Italian astronomer, mathematician, and physicist. ...
- Galileo soon became known through his invention of a hydrostatic balance and his treatise on the center of gravity of solid bodies. ... The famous story in which Galileo is said to have dropped weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa is apocryphal. The actual experiment was performed by Simon Stevin several years before Galileos work. However, Galileo did find that the path of a projectile is a parabola, and he is credited with conclusions foreshadowing Newtons laws of motion.
- Exploring the heavens with his new aid, Galileo discovered that the moon, shining with reflected light, had an uneven, mountainous surface and that the Milky Way was made up of numerous separate stars. ...
- In 1616 the system of Copernicus was denounced as dangerous to faith, and Galileo, summoned to Rome, was warned not to uphold it or teach it. ... Since 1761, accounts of the trial have concluded with the statement that Galileo, as he arose from his knees, exclaimed sotto voce, E pur si muove nevertheless it does move . That statement was long considered legendary, but it was discovered written on a portrait of Galileo completed c. ...
- After the Inquisition trial Galileo was sentenced to an enforced residence in Siena. He was later allowed to live in seclusion at Arcetri near Florence, and it is likely that Galileos statement of defiance was made as he left Siena for Arcetri. In spite of infirmities and, at the last, blindness, Galileo continued the pursuit of scientific truth until his death. ... However, since teaching the Copernican theory had been banned in 1616, it was technically possible that a new trial could find Galileo guilty; thus it was suggested that the 1616 prohibition be reversed, and this happened in 1992. The pope concluded that while 17th-century theologians based their decision on the knowledge available to them at the time, they had wronged Galileo by not recognizing the difference between a question relating to scientific investigation and one falling into the realm of doctrine of the faith.

- Galileo braves extreme radiation as it plunges toward a close encounter with Io's volcanoes.
- September 16, 1999: Later today at 10:26 am PDT, NASA's Galileo spacecraft begins a daring new phase of its mission when it passes less than 670 miles above Jupiter's moon Callisto. The "daring" part isn't the close flyby of Callisto -- Galileo's done that plenty of times. What makes this flyby special is that Callisto's gravity will alter Galileo's orbit and send it hurtling toward two close encounters with Io, the innermost of Jupiter's big moons. ... Galileo will race over Io's surface twice, once in October and again in November, taking close-up pictures of the landscape and collecting valuable scientific data across the electromagnetic spectrum. In November Galileo might even pass through the plume of Pillan Patera, making it the first spacecraft ever to fly through an alien volcano.
- Galileo's "trial by fire" began two days ago when the spacecraft made its deepest approach into the Io torus since 1995. ...
- "We're not doing much observing at Callisto on this encounter," noted JPL's Duane Bindschadler, the manager of Galileo's Science Planning and Operations Team, "just some radio science experiments to probe Callisto's atmosphere and its internal mass distribution. ...
- Below: This colorful spectrogram shows Chorus Emission from the satellite Ganymede recorded by the Plasma Wave Instrument on Galileo as it sailed past the moon in 1996. ...
- Galileo flew through the outer edges of the torus last month August 99 and ran into a pretty intense radiation environment. ...
- If energetic particles were injected into Jupiter's magnetic field last month, will radiation levels still be high now as Galileo heads into the inner magnetosphere? .
- "In November, 1998 Galileo was scheduled to fly through Jupiter's magnetotail on the nightside of Jupiter, at about 90 Rj Rj=Jupiter radii . ...
- We had a lot of missed predictions in the beginning of this mission, but Galileo is really improving our understanding of Jupiter's magnetic environment. ...
- Galileo's current mission is scheduled to end later this year on December 31, but depending on funding and other factors it could be extended to further study the relationship between Jupiter's magnetosphere and the Sun. ... By joining forces, Galileo and Cassini could also help researchers understand how the solar wind billows away from the sun and propagates into the outer solar system. ...

- Galileo.
- Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. Galileo pioneered "experimental scientific method" and was the first to use a refracting telescope to make important astronomical discoveries. ...
- In 1609 Galileo learned of the invention of the telescope in Holland. ... Galileo made a series of profound discoveries using his new telescope, including the moons of the planet Jupiter and the phases of the planet Venus (similar to those of Earth's moon).
- As a professor of astronomy at University of Pisa, Galileo was required to teach the accepted theory of his time that the sun and all the planets revolved around the Earth. ... Galileo's observations with his new telescope convinced him of the truth of Copernicus's sun-centered or heliocentric theory.
- Galileo's support for the heliocentric theory got him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church. ...
- Galileo's originality as a scientist lay in his method of inquiry. ... Isaac Newton used one of Galileo's mathematical descriptions, "The Law of Inertia," as the foundation for his "First Law of Motion. " Galileo died in 1642, the year of Newton's birth.

- (gal-uh-LEE-oh, gal-uh-LAY-oh) An Italian scientist of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries; his full name was Galileo Galilei. Galileo proved that objects with different masses fall at the same velocity. ...
- Authorities of the Roman Catholic Church forced Galileo to renounce his belief in the model of the solar system proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus. Galileo had to assert that the Earth stands still, and the sun revolves around it. A famous legend holds that Galileo, after making this public declaration about a motionless Earth, muttered, Nevertheless, it does move. ...
