Galileo+Galilee+P2

**Hello, this is my official wikispace page if you don’t know me by now my name is Galileo Galilee, I am a scientist. I was born in February 15th 1564 in Pisa; my father's name was Vincenzo Galilei he was a musician and merchant. My mother's name is Guilia Ammannati. I am the oldest of 6 children. My daughter's name is Maria Celeste. My nationality is Italian. I went to school in Pisa. If you don’t know me I’m the scientist who formulated the basic law of falling bodies. As everyone says I’m famous for my many thoughts of experience in motion. It was in during my Paduan period that i worked on much of my mechanics and began my work with the telescope. I published “The starry Messenger" in 1610.

__ACCOMPLISHMENTS__**
 * During my life I have made many accomplishments. One of them was building my own telescope in 1609. After I built my telescope I was able to see crater's on the moon which was believed to be completely round. I discovered four moons around Jupiter proving Earth was not the only planet with moons. In 1610 I published the book //Sidereus Nuncius// (//The Sidereal Messenger//) based on my findings with the telescope. In 1623 after the apperance of three new comets in 1618, I also published Saggiatore (The Assayer). In 1632 I published the book Dialogo sopra I due massimi sistemi del mondo, tolemaico copernicano (Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, Ptolemaic and Copernican).**
