- Galileo was born 1564 at Pisa Italy. He was the eldest of seven children. His father was a musician and a scholar,Galileo himself played the organ and the flute, but it was his contributions to science that made him famous. At first young Galileo had a tutor at home in Pisa. Then he went to school in a monastery at Florence. His father later sent him to the University of Pisa to study medicine, but Galileo was more interested in mathematics and physics. He left Pisa without finishing medicine course. But in 1589 at the age of 25 he became a Professor of mathematics. In 1609 Galileo made a small telescope. When he tuned his telescope on the sky, he gradually discovered four moons circling the planet Jupiter, crater on the moon, spots on the sun and rings round Saturn. He also observed that the planet Venus has phases like the moon. This could only mean that Venus travels round the sun. Galileo became convinced that the Earth and all other planets orbit the sun.At that time the Christian church thought that any idea that the earth was not the centre of our universe went against the Bible. A book published by the astronomer Copernicus in 1543 setting out such a theory was officially banned by the church. Galileo's views on the subject and the books he wrote got him into serious troubles with the church. As the church was very powerful in those days, Galileo was forced to say publicly that he did not agree with the ideas of Copernicus in order to avoid torture and even death. Although he made this declaration, he never changed his real belief.
