Einstein once said that only the work of Galileo can be seen as the real beginning of astronomy and physics. All before that might have been science but not in a way, we are thinking about that term today. Galileo was the first person pointing a telescope to the sky and making incredible observations about our cosmos.

He discovered several bodies in our solar system, spotted sunspots and that the sun rotates and even confirmed the fact that all planets are moving on orbits around the sun but not the earth.

Especially this last discovery led him into serious trouble with the Catholic Church and eventually led to a sentence for house arrest to the end of his life.

As his life was so amazing and he changed the way we think about physics so heavily we want to share with you 10 facts about Galileo Galilei you definitely need to know.
