Galileo was an unmanned NASA spacecraft which studied the planet Jupiter and its moons.

Galileo Galilei first studied and discovered concepts involving the pendulum in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

Rudolf Wolf compiled and studied these and other observations, reconstructing the cycle back to 1745, eventually pushing these reconstructions to the earliest observations of sunspots by Galileo and contemporaries in the early seventeenth century.

In 1632, shortly after the publication of Galileo's Dialogues of the New Science, Torricelli wrote to Galileo of reading it " with the delight [...] of one who, having already practiced all of geometry most diligently [...] and having studied Ptolemy and seen almost everything of Tycho Brahe, Kepler and Longomontanus, finally, forced by the many congruences, came to adhere to Copernicus, and was a Galileian in profession and sect ".

Delmedigo studied at Padua and was acquainted with Galileo.

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

Ordinary cycloids were studied by Galileo Galilei and Marin Mersenne as early as 1599 but cycloidal curves were first conceived by Ole Rømer in 1674 while studying the best form for gear teeth.

The classical astronomer Ptolemy called it " the nebulous mass in the breast of Cancer ," and it was among the first objects that Galileo studied with his

Tvashtar was studied by the Galileo spacecraft over several years.

With its help Galileo Galilei and Gilles de Roberval found the area of a cycloid arch, Grégoire de Saint-Vincent investigated the area under a hyperbola ( Opus Geometricum, 1647 ), and Alphonse Antonio de Sarasa, de Saint-Vincent's pupil and commentator noted the relation of this area to logarithms.

Marius discovered the moons independently at the same time as Galileo, and gave them their present names, which were suggested by Johannes Kepler, in his Mundus Jovialis, published in 1614.

Sunspot activity in 1129 was described by John of Worcester, and Averroes provided a description of sunspots later in the 12th century ; however, these observations were also misinterpreted as planetary transits, until Galileo gave the correct explanation in 1612.

The discoveries of Johannes Kepler and Galileo gave the theory credibility.

Galileo demonstrated the revolution of the satellites of Jupiter around the planet and gave rough predictions of their configurations, proved the rotation of the Sun on its axis and established the general truth of the Copernican system as compared with that of Ptolemy.

Gian Gastone gave his all in reforming his realm, purging corrupt Churchmen from government, reversing Cosimo III's ban of teaching " new ideas ", i. e. the philosophy of Galileo et al., in the University of Pisa and abolishing the burdensome income taxes.

It was also used in Galileo Galilei's 1609 telescope design which gave this type of eyepiece arrangement the name " Galilean ".

Some students and professors protested in reaction to a 1990 speech that Pope Benedict XVI ( then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger ) gave in which he, in their opinion, endorsed the actions of the church against Galileo in 1633.

Galileo gave the common-sense " formula " for adding velocities: if

Ouija Board gave birth to her third foal at Stanley House Stud in Newmarket in 2010, a filly by Galileo.

An early proponent of increased investment in robotic systems, Engelberger published articles and gave Congressional testimony on the value of using automation in space long before successes of the NASA's Mars landers, Galileo, and other unmanned space science missions.

The coining of the name " microscope " has been credited to Giovanni Faber, who gave that name to Galileo Galilei's compound microscope in 1625.

Several space observatories did the same, including the Hubble Space Telescope, the ROSAT X-ray observing satellite, and significantly the Galileo spacecraft, then on its way to a rendezvous with Jupiter scheduled for 1995.

However, due to security and technology-independence policy from European Commission, China was, in effect, dis-invited from Galileo and without a return of its monetary investment, a decision that was reinforced by China ’ s move to build its own global system, called Beidou / Compass.

Since Galileo was designed to provide the highest possible precision ( possibly even greater than GPS ) to anyone, the US was concerned that an enemy could use Galileo signals in military strikes against the US and its allies ( some weapons like missiles use GNSS systems for guidance ).

GETR receivers are supplied by Septentrio as well as the first Galileo navigation receivers to be used to test the functioning of the system at further stages of its deployment.

Galileo also registered Io's volcanism and the plasma interactions between its and Jupiter's atmospheres.

Galileo then performed a second flyby of Earth at 303. 1 km at 15: 09: 25 UT on 8 December 1992, adding 3. 7 km per second to its cumulative speed.

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.

The camera system was designed to obtain images of Jupiter's satellites at resolutions from 20 to 1, 000 times better than Voyager's best, because Galileo flew closer to the planet and its inner moons, and because the more modern CCD sensor in Galileos camera was more sensitive and had a broader color detection band than the vidicons of Voyager.

JPL-run projects include the Galileo mission to Jupiter and its moons, the Mars rovers ( including the 1997 Mars Pathfinder and the twin 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers ).

Although a Dutch spectacle maker created the compound lens and inserted it in a microscope around the turn of the seventeenth century, and Galileo had applied the principle of the compound lens to the making of his microscope patented in 1609, its possibilities as a microscope had remained unexploited for half a century, until Robert Hooke improved the instrument.

* 1991 – The American Galileo spacecraft makes its closest approach to 951 Gaspra, becoming the first probe to visit an asteroid.

Galileo used its brief appearance to counter the Aristotelian dogma that the heavens are changeless.

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.

In the Galileo affair, the acceptance, from 1616 to 1757, of the Greek geocentric model ( Ptolemaic system ) by the Roman Catholic Church, and its consequent opposition to heliocentrism, was first called into question by the Catholic cleric Copernicus, and subsequently disproved conclusively by Galileo, who was persecuted for his minority view.

Galileo maintained strongly that mathematics provided a kind of necessary certainty that could be compared to God's: " With regard to those few mathematical propositions which the human intellect does understand, I believe its knowledge equals the Divine in objective certainty.

Galileo asked whether he should name the moons the " Cosmian Stars ," after Cosimo alone, or the " Medician Stars ," which would honor all four brothers in the Medici clan.

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

Giovanni Faber coined the name microscope for Galileo Galilei's compound microscope in 1625 ( Galileo had called it the " occhiolino " or " little eye ").

* In the novel The War of the End of the World from Latin American writer Mario Vargas Llosa, one of the main characters is Galileo Gall, a phrenologist whose name refers to Galileo Galilei and Franz Joseph Gall, founder of the science of phrenology.

Upon completion of the modifications, they stock the rocket, which they name the Galileo, and take off for the Moon, taking approximately 11 days to arrive.

Galileo is the name most closely associated with the first scientific assault on biblical authority, but the heliocentric universe was sufficiently peripheral to biblical ontology to be eventually accommodated.

The name was invented by the Greek poet / theologian Giovanni Demisiani at a banquet held on April 14, 1611 by Prince Federico Cesi to make Galileo Galilei a member of the Accademia dei Lincei.

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.

For Galileo ’ s son of the same name, see Vincenzo Gamba.

The linguistic purism of the Accademia found the opposition of Cesare Beccaria and the Verri brothers ( Pietro and Alessandro ), which through their journal Il Caffè programmatically insulted the Accademia and its pedantic, archaic grammar in the name of Galileo and Newton and of a modern and cosmopolitan intellectual thought.
