Galileo initially called his discovery the Cosmica Sidera (" Cosimo's stars "), in honour of Cosimo II de ' Medici ( 1590 – 1621 ).

The frequency initially chosen for Galileo would have made it impossible for the US to block the Galileo signals without also interfering with their own GPS signals.

The power output initially decreased at the rate of 0. 6 watts per month and was 493 watts when Galileo arrived at Jupiter.

Heinlein's first novel published as a book, Rocket Ship Galileo, was initially rejected because going to the moon was considered too far out, but he soon found a publisher, Scribner's, that began publishing a Heinlein juvenile once a year for the Christmas season.

This was initially explained by Galileo Galilei via the theory of horror vacui (" nature abhors a vacuum "), which dates to Aristotle, and which Galileo restated as resintenza del vacuo, but this was subsequently disproved by later workers, notably Evangelista Torricelli and Blaise Pascal – see barometer: history.

The names that eventually prevailed were chosen by Simon Marius, who discovered the moons independently at the same time as Galileo: he named them at the suggestion of Johannes Kepler after lovers of the god Zeus ( the Greek equivalent of Jupiter ): Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, in his Mundus Jovialis, published in 1614.

The € 20 billion project is named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei.

The gal is named after Galileo Galilei, a physicist who made the first measurements of the Earth's gravity.

The Galileo coup is so named because Galileo Galilei is usually credited with the invention of the telescope ; this coup arises when the contract is in a suit in which the declaring side is missing both the Ace and King ; if successful, the defenders end up being forced to play the Ace and King of trumps to the same trick, thus " telescoping " their two trump tricks into one.

Although Riccioli rejected the Copernican theory, he named a prominent lunar crater " Copernicus ", and he named other important craters after other proponents of the Copernican theory such as Kepler, Galileo and Lansbergius.

Two craters have been named for Galileo Galilei, with a different spelling ;

Galilaei is the name of two craters named after the astronomer Galileo Galilei:

Although named after Italian physicist Galileo Galilei, the thermometer described in this article was not invented by him.

His colleague Giovanni Riccioli then named it Galilaeus, after Galileo Galilei.

During one of his frequent trips to Venice, Galileo met a young woman named Marina di Andrea Gamba and started a relationship with her.

In none of the three baptismal records is Galileo named as the father.

And I guess one of the reasons we got here today was because of a gentleman named Galileo, a long time ago, who made a rather significant discovery about falling objects in gravity fields.

The first example of the company's new approach was the Astrolabium Galileo Galilei ( 1985 ; named after the device Astrolabium, and the astronomer Galileo ).

The last also contained features named for Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo.

Galileo announced his discovery that Venus had phases like the Moon in the form " Haec immatura a me iam frustra leguntur-oy " ( Latin: These immature ones have already been read in vain by me-oy ), that is, when rearranged, " Cynthiae figuras aemulatur Mater Amorum " ( Latin: The Mother of Loves Venus imitates the figures of Cynthia the moon ).

Galileo ’ s discovery showed the importance of the telescope as a tool for astronomers by proving that there were objects in space that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Galileo ’ s discovery proved the importance of the telescope as a tool for astronomers by showing that there were objects in space to be discovered that until then had remained unseen by the naked eye.

Galileo, seeking patronage from his now-wealthy former student and his powerful family, used the discovery of Jupiter ’ s moons to gain it.

From its discovery around 1602 by Galileo Galilei the regular motion of pendulums was used for timekeeping, and was the world's most accurate timekeeping technology until the 1930s.

It was the last planetary satellite to be discovered by direct visual observation ( as opposed to photographically ) and was the first new satellite of Jupiter since Galileo Galilei's discovery of the Galilean satellites in 1610.

This was a method sometimes used by scientists, such as Hooke, Huygens, Galileo, and others, to establish priority for a discovery without revealing details.

* Galileo – 18 October 1989 – Venus flyby, first Asteroid flyby, first Asteroid moon discovery, first Jupiter orbiter / atmospheric probe

In the last portion of Sidereus Nuncius, Galileo reported his discovery of four objects that appeared to form a straight line of stars near Jupiter.

The discovery of the rotating magnetic field is generally attributed to two inventors, the Italian physicist and electrical engineer Galileo Ferraris, and the Austrian / Serbian inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla.

Galileo Galilei has been called the " father of modern observational astronomy ", because of his discovery of telescope and heliocentrism, and even " the Father of Modern Science ".

The Roman numbering system arose with the very first discovery of natural satellites other than Earth's Moon: Galileo referred to the Galilean moons as I through IV ( counting from Jupiter outward ), in part to spite his rival Simon Marius, who had proposed the names now adopted, after his own proposal to name the bodies after members of the Medici family failed to win currency.

Other famous scientists that have been depicted include Alessandro Volta ( the battery ) and Galileo ( the telescope and his discovery of Jupiter's largest moons ).

Given that Galileo published his work before Marius, Galileo is credited with the discovery.

In a debate about Galileo ’ s discovery of the Rings of Saturn these members developed an experiment which would demonstrate that Galileo ’ s discovery was validated by Christiaan Huygens theory.

Galileo Ferraris ( 31 October 1847 – 7 February 1897 ) was an Italian physicist and electrical engineer, noted mostly for the studies and independent discovery of the rotating magnetic field, a basic working principle of the induction motor.

The historian Xi Zezong has claimed that this was a naked-eye observation of Ganymede in the summer of 365 BC, long before Galileo Galilei's celebrated discovery of the same in 1610 ( all four of the brightest moons are technically visible to the unaided eye, but in practice are normally hidden by the glare of Jupiter ).

At Cosimo's suggestion, Galileo changed the name to Medicea Sidera (" the Medician stars "), honouring all four Medici brothers ( Cosimo, Francesco, Carlo, and Lorenzo ).

Galileo used smaismrmilmepoetaleumibunenugttauiras for Altissimum planetam tergeminum observavi (" I have observed the most distant planet to have a triple form ") for discovering the rings of Saturn in 1610.

The Academy has its origins in the Accademia dei Lincei (" Academy of Lynxes ") established in Rome in 1603, under Pope Clement VIII by the learned Roman prince, Federico Cesi ( 1585 – 1630 ), who was a young botanist and naturalist, and which claimed Galileo Galilei as its president.

The complete dynamic theory of simple machines was worked out by Italian scientist Galileo Galilei in 1600 in Le Meccaniche (" On Mechanics ").

The complete dynamic theory of simple machines was worked out by Italian scientist Galileo Galilei in 1600 in Le Meccaniche (" On Mechanics ").

The recantation of Galileo " eppur si muove " (" It does move " or " nevertheless it moves ") is first recorded by Baretti in his Italian Library.

In Two New Sciences Galileo ( Salviati speaks for him ) used a wood molding, " 12 cubits long, half a cubit wide and three finger-breadths thick " as a ramp with a straight, smooth, polished groove to study rolling balls (" a hard, smooth and very round bronze ball ").

A prospective student tells Galileo about a novel invention, the telescope (" a queer tube thing "), being sold in Amsterdam.

He created tribbles by using artificial fur stuffed with foam, the Neanderthals in " The Galileo Seven ", and the Romulan Bird of Prey (" Balance of Terror "), and the Vulcan harp first seen in " Charlie X " and later seen in " The Conscience of the King ", " Amok Time ", " The Way to Eden "; and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

Galileo Galilei's ( probably apocryphal ) utterance " Eppur si muove " (" Nonetheless, Earth does move "), spoken after recanting his heliocentric theory, is an example of sotto voce utterance.

The Academy has its origins in the Accademia Pontificia dei Nuovi Lincei (" Pontifical Academy of the New Lynxes "), founded in 1847 intended as a more closely supervised successor to the Accademia dei Lincei (" Academy of Lynxes ") established in Rome in 1603, by the learned Roman Prince, Federico Cesi ( 1585 – 1630 ) who was a young botanist and naturalist, and which claimed Galileo Galilei as its president. The Accademia dei Lincei survives as a wholly separate institution.
