SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERIES
OF GALILEO GALILEI
The distance traveled by a falling body is directly
proportional to the square of the time it takes to fall.
The Law of Falling Bodies
Galileo improved on the original Dutch invention by
grinding the lenses, which increased the magnifying factor
by thirty times. This innovation allowed Galileo to make new
empirical discoveries.
Improvement of the Telescope
With the improvements in the telescope, Galileo was the
first to observe the craters of the moon. He also noted
Jupiter's four largest moons, the presence of sunspots, and
the different phases of the planet Venus.
Astronomical Discoveries
Galileo's observations about Jupiter's moons and Venus'
phases paved the way to discovering how Earth orbits
around the sun, instead of the other way around.
