Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, astronomer, and philosopher who is closely associated with the scientific revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope, a variety of astronomical observations, and effective support for Copernicanism. According to Stephen Hawking, Galileo has probably contributed more to the creation of the modern natural sciences than anybody else. He has been referred to as the "father of modern astronomy," as the "father of modern physics", and as the "father of science". The work of Galileo is considered to be a significant break from that of Aristotle.

With all due respect -
if you can use a computer to get onto this group and ask this question,
then you can use it to go to Google or a similar search engine and find out the answer for yourself.
So many questions seem to be people unwilling to do their own work, and a lot of them sound suspiciously like homework.
I've done homework - I'm done with homework - do your own work.
