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.

His craggy looks soon made him into a character actor, although he won critical acclaim as Galileo in John Dexter's production of The Life of Galileo by Brecht at the National Theatre in 1980.

This report was issued in October 1608 and distributed across Europe, leading to experiments by other scientists, such as the Italian Paolo Sarpi, who received the report in November, the Englishman Thomas Harriot, who was using a six-powered telescope by the summer of 1609, and Galileo Galilei, who soon improved the device.

Galileo devoted his time to improving and perfecting the telescope and soon succeeded in producing telescopes of greatly increased power.

Galileo Galilei and Giovanni Francesco Sagredo had discussed using a mirror as the image forming objective soon after the invention of the refracting telescope, and others, such as Niccolò Zucchi, claimed to have experimented with the idea as far back as 1616.

Kinane took Galileo to the lead two furlongs out, but Frankie Dettori soon brought Fantastic Light to challenge.

Some US officials became especially concerned when Chinese interest in Galileo was reported.

After releasing its atmospheric probe on 13 July 1995, the Galileo orbiter became the first man-made satellite of Jupiter at 00: 27 UT on 8 December 1995 when it fired its main engine to enter a 198-day parking orbit.

Urban VIII became hostile to Galileo and he was again summoned to Rome.

But ultimately the Galileo affair did little to slow the spread of heliocentrism across Europe, as Kepler's Epitome of Copernican Astronomy became increasingly influential in the coming decades.

By 1615, with the controversy over the Earth's motion widespread and increasingly dangerous, Galileo revised this letter and greatly expanded it ; this became the Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina.

Galileo was inducted to the exclusive academy on December 25, 1611, and became its intellectual center.

Galileo Galilei, who was born and studied in Pisa, became professor of mathematics at the Pisan Studium in 1589.

Galileo became the first spacecraft to orbit an outer planet and to penetrate the atmosphere of an outer planet.

In 1564 Galileo was born, the first of his either six or seven children ; another son, Michelagnolo, born in 1575, who also became an accomplished lutenist and composer.

Galileo formulated and successfully tested several results in dynamics, in particular the law of inertia, which later became the first law in Newton's laws of motion.

In 1593, Galileo became an external consultant to the Arsenal, advising military engineers and instrument makers and helping to solve shipbuilders ' problems, many of them relating to matters of ballistics.

In 1610, the year after Galileo Galilei first turned a telescope to the sky, he became the very first person to observe Saturn's rings, though he could not see them well enough to discern their true nature.

On August 21, 2007, the acquisition was completed for $ 1. 4 billion and Worldspan became a part of Travelport GDS, which also includes Galileo and other related businesses.

Apparently, the method that became known as Simpson's rule was well known and used earlier by Bonaventura Cavalieri ( a student of Galileo ) in 1639, later rediscovered by James Gregory ( who Simpson succeeded as Regius Professor of Mathematics at the University of St Andrews ) and was only attributed to Simpson.

Travicom was a company created by Videcom, British Airways and British Caledonian and launched in 1976 as the world's first multi-access reservations system based on Videcom technology which eventually became part of Galileo UK.

Cowlings and Simpson were teammates at Galileo High School, San Francisco City College, USC, the Buffalo Bills, and the San Francisco 49ers ; they eventually became close friends and confidantes.

Guidobaldo became a staunch friend of Galileo and helped him again in 1592, when he had to apply to the chair of mathematics at the University of Padua, due to the hatred and machinations of Giovanni de ' Medici, a son of Cosimo I de ' Medici, against Galileo.

SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems ( US ) Inc became SELEX Galileo Inc.

SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems ( US ) Inc became SELEX Galileo Inc.

The Piarists became entangled in church politics, and partially because they were associated with Galileo, were opposed by the Jesuits, who were more orthodox in astronomy.

After Galileo began using a telescope to examine the sky, it became harder to argue that the heavens were perfect, as Aristotelian philosophy required.

Although opposed by Copernicus and Kepler ( with Galileo agnostic ), by the middle of the 17th century this became widely accepted, partly due to the support of René Descartes.

It is known that he was the essential pedagogical influence upon the young Galileo, his eldest son ( cf.

In June 2004, in a signed agreement with the United States, the European Union agreed to switch to a modulation known as BOC ( 1, 1 ) ( Binary Offset Carrier 1. 1 ) allowing the coexistence of both GPS and Galileo, and the future combined use of both systems.

Space probes have been placed into orbit around all the five planets known to the ancients: first Mars ( Mariner 9, 1971 ), then Venus ( Venera 9, 1975 ; but landings on Venus and atmospheric probes were performed even earlier ), Jupiter ( Galileo, 1995 ), Saturn ( Cassini / Huygens, 2004 ), and most recently Mercury ( MESSENGER, March 2011 ), and have returned data about these bodies and their natural satellites.

During the early modern period, scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, and especially Newton, laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics.

File: Justus Sustermans-Portrait of Galileo Galilei, 1636. jpg | Galileo Galilei ( 1564-1642 ): discovered the uniform acceleration rate of falling bodies, improved on the refracting telescope, discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, described projectile motion and the concept of weight ; known for championing of the Copernican theory of heliocentricism against Church opposition.

However, according to Galileo, the core of what came to be known as the scientific method in modern physical sciences is stated in his book Il Saggiatore to be the concept of a systematic, mathematical interpretation of experiments and empirical facts:

Gersonides was also the earliest known mathematician to have used the technique of mathematical induction in a systematic and self-conscious fashion and anticipated Galileo ’ s error theory.

He is also known for saying, in the context of the controversies about the work of Copernicus and Galileo, " The Bible teaches us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go.

Little was known about the basin until the 1990s, when the spacecraft Galileo and Clementine visited the Moon.

( The Vatican condemned Galileo in June 1633, and this was the only known occasion on which Torricelli openly declared himself to hold the Copernican view.

Aside from several letters, little is known of Torricelli's activities in the years between 1632 and 1641, when Castelli sent Torricelli's monograph of the path of projectiles to Galileo, then a prisoner in his villa at Arcetri.

The Vatican files suggest that Galileo was forbidden to teach heliocentrism in any way whatsoever, but whether this ban was known to Galileo is a matter of dispute.

Temperature has long been known as a quality of heat, for example, to Galileo and to Newton.

* The Pythagorean idea that whole numbers and harmonic ( euphonic ) sounds are intimately connected in music, must have been well known to lute-player and maker Vincenzo Galilei, father of Galileo Galilei.

The company was known for producing, among other products, the Hughes H-4 Hercules " Spruce Goose " aircraft, the atmospheric entry probe carried by the Galileo spacecraft, and the AIM-4 Falcon guided missile.

Galileo Galilei was the first person known to have turned a telescope to the heavens and to record what he saw.

Previously, the only known moon of an asteroid was Dactyl, discovered by the Galileo space probe, around 243 Ida.

Travel agencies also use the services of the major computer reservations systems companies, also known as Global Distribution Systems ( GDS ), including: SABRE, Amadeus CRS, Galileo CRS and Worldspan, which is a subsidiary of Travelport, allowing them to book and sell airline tickets, hotels, car rentals and other travel related services.

As a distinct field, experimental physics was established in early modern Europe, during what is known as the Scientific Revolution, by physicists such as Galileo Galilei, Christiaan Huygens, Johannes Kepler, Blaise Pascal and Sir Isaac Newton.

Life of Galileo (), also known as Galileo, is a play by the twentieth-century German dramatist Bertolt Brecht.
