=Galileo was born in Tuscany Pisa on February 15, 1564=

===Galileo learned of the invention in Holland of a magnifying tube that used lenses--a telescope.He kept improving its magnification of about 30 times--just about the practical limit for his kind of telescope. Galileo saw for the first time the surface of the moon with its mountains and discovered new, fixed stars as well as four satellites of Jupiter. It is important because it show people what there planet look like=== .

In 1592, Galileo was appointed professor of mathematics at Padua University in Pisa, where he conducted experiments with falling objects
. ==Galileo used his knowledge of mathematics to study the behavior of falling bodies. Galileo discovered mathematically that two forces can act on a body at the same time, and that the body will always move in a parabolic curve. For example, (a ball shot from a cannon is pushed forward by the force of the explosion and downward by the force of gravity.) this is important because it shows how gravity works.==
