In Galileo Was Right, episode 10 of From the Earth to the Moon ( HBO TV miniseries ), at 48: 00 into the episode, Mission Control is overheard telling the crew of Apollo 15 " As the space-poet Rhysling would say, we're ready for you to ' come back again, to the homes of men, on the cool green hills of Earth ' "

* In the last episode of Galileo ( Japanese television drama ), this substance is said to be " a legendary alloy that reflects 100 % of neutrons " and " an urban legend among scientists ".

This episode had been preceded one week earlier by the remastered version of the episode " The Squire of Gothos ," and it was followed after a several-week break by the episode " The Galileo Seven.

He portrayed the First Gentleman Henry Taylor on the seventh season of 24, appeared as Tad Whitney in The West Wing second-season episode titled " Galileo " and also played the billionaire suspect Jordan Kress in the 2011 Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode " Flight ".

" The Galileo Seven " is the sixteenth episode of the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series, broadcast by NBC on January 5, 1967.

* The capture sequence of the Galileo shuttle craft has been changed to incorporate the CGI shuttle craft, and the Galileo can be seen returning Kirk, Spock, and McCoy to the Enterprise at the end of the episode.

In the latter episode the full-size mockup sported the name Galileo II acknowledging that the original Shuttlecraft was lost during " The Galileo Seven ".

The popular drama series, Galileo aired a special episode that included her in the cast where she played a student lab assistant.

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.

Their most bitter dispute concerned finding the equation for the path followed by a particle from one point to another in the shortest time, if the particle is acted upon by gravity alone, a problem originally discussed by Galileo.

A few minutes after the impact fireball was detected, Galileo measured renewed heating, probably due to ejected material falling back onto the planet.

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.

Galileo showed that the path of a projectile follows a parabola, a consequence of uniform acceleration due to gravity.

Galileo thermometers are used to measure indoor air temperature, due to their limited measurement range.

Italian physicist Galileo Galilei ( 1564-1642 ), a champion of the Copernican model of the universe and an enormously influential figure in the history of kinematics and classical mechanicsThe foundation of modern dynamics was set out in Galileo's book Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo ( Dialogue on the two main world systems ) where the notion of inertia was implicit and used.

While not attributing magnetism to attraction among the stars, Gilbert pointed out the motion of the skies was due to earth's rotation, and not the rotation of the spheres, 20 years before Galileo ( but 57 years after Copernicus who stated it openly in his work " De revolutionibus orbium coelestium " published in 1543 ) ( see external reference below ).

His description of the center stars as different from a comets head in that they were a " rectangle " may have been an early description of the Trapezium Cluster ( The first detection of three of the four stars of this cluster is credited to Galileo Galilei in a February 4, 1617 although he did not notice the surrounding nebula — possibly due to the narrow field of vision of his early telescope.

* Galileo Galilei-Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo ( Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems )

The Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems ( Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo ) was a 1632 Italian language book by Galileo Galilei comparing the Copernican system with the traditional Ptolemaic system.

Alternating current had first developed in Europe due to the work of Guillaume Duchenne ( 1850s ), Ganz Works ( 1870s ), Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti ( 1880s ), Lucien Gaulard, and Galileo Ferraris.

* The final book of the now-blind Galileo, Discorsi e dimostrazioni matematiche, intorno à due nuove scienze is published in Leiden, dealing with the strength of materials and the motion of objects.

The telescope also played a role in relaying data from the NASA Galileo mission to Jupiter that required radio-telescope support due to the use of its backup telemetry subsystem as the principal means to relay science data.

Several consumer organizations, as well as Orbitz's primary competitors at the time ( Expedia, Sabre, Travelocity, Galileo ) spent significant amounts of money lobbying the United States Department of Transportation to block the project from the outset, and some 23 state attorneys general also voiced concerns due to the complaints of local competitors.

However, in that observation, Galileo could not separate Io and Europa due to the low power of his telescope, so the two were recorded as a single point of light.

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.

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.

Since the Enterprise is not scheduled to rendezvous for five days, Kirk decides to send a science team composed of Science Officer Mr. Spock, Chief Medical Officer Dr. McCoy, Chief Engineer Scott, and four other specialists from the crew out in the # 7 shuttlecraft, Galileo, to investigate the formation.

On stardate 3219. 4, Captain James T. Kirk, along with his first officer Mr. Spock and chief medical officer Dr. McCoy are ferrying Commissioner Nancy Hedford to the starship USS Enterprise aboard the shuttlecraft Galileo.

Kinane positioned Galileo just behind the leaders and turned into the straight in third behind Mr Combustible and Perfect Sunday.

Two furlongs from the finish, Galileo moved past Mr Combustible and quickly went clear to record an " impressive " three and a half length victory over Golan, Tobougg and Mr Combustible.

As a formal concept, the method has variously been ascribed to Alhazen, René Descartes ( Discourse on the Method ) and Galileo Galilei.

Galileo wrote " Waves are produced by the vibrations of a sonorous body, which spread through the air, bringing to the tympanum of the ear a stimulus which the mind interprets as sound ", a remarkable statement that points to the beginnings of physiological and psychological acoustics.

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.

* 1609 – Galileo Galilei demonstrates his first telescope to Venetian lawmakers.

" The Four Books on Measurement " were published at Nuremberg in 1525 and was the first book for adults on mathematics in German, as well as being cited later by Galileo and Kepler.

The Copernican theory of the solar system – that the Earth revolved annually about the Sun – had received confirmation by the observations of Galileo and Tycho Brahe ( who, however, never accepted heliocentrism ), and the mathematical investigations of Kepler and Newton.

Although observations of some aerodynamic effects such as wind resistance ( e. g. drag ) were recorded by Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei, very little effort was made to develop a rigorous quantitative theory of air flow prior to the 17th century.

Later he claimed to be the discoverer of the moons, which led to a dispute with the true discoverer, Galileo Galilei.

Following Galileo and Torricelli, in 1646 he refuted Aristotle's followers who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum.

In 1616, on the orders of Paul V, Bellarmine summoned Galileo, notified him of a forthcoming decree of the Congregation of the Index condemning the Copernican doctrine of the mobility of the Earth and the immobility of the Sun, and ordered him to abandon it .< ref > Blackwell ( 1991, p. 126 ).

< cite id = disputedinjunction > The Vatican archives contain an unsigned copy of a more strongly worded formal injunction purporting to have been served on Galileo shortly after Bellarmine's admonition, ordering him " not to hold, teach, or defend " the condemned doctrine " in any way whatever, either orally or in writing ", and threatening him with imprisonment if he refused to obey .</ cite > However, whether this injunction was ever properly served on Galileo is a subject of much scholarly disagreement.

( Blackwell, 1991, p. 127 – 128 ) Galileo agreed.

( In 1633, Galileo would again be called before the Inquisition in this matter.

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.

While the impacts took place on the side of Jupiter hidden from Earth, Galileo, then at a distance of 1. 6 AU from the planet, was able to see the impacts as they occurred.

Instruments on Galileo detected a fireball which reached a peak temperature of about 24, 000 K, compared to the typical Jovian cloudtop temperature of about 130 K, before expanding and cooling rapidly to about 1500 K after 40 s. The plume from the fireball quickly reached a height of over 3, 000 km.

It is often said that Galileo thought the curve of a hanging chain was parabolic.
