Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de’ Galilei, simply known as Galileo, is recognized as one of the world’s most renowned astronomers. He was much more, he was truly a man far ahead of his time, luckily for us. To quote Stephen Hawking, “Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science.”
Astronomy is one of the most exciting sciences due to numerous celestial phenomena that are simply awesome and beautiful to see. Not only that, the universe as a whole is a mysterious fact that may never be fully explained by science.
The Earth is one of nine planets that form the Solar System, so called because the sun, the source of solar energy, is the central point around which all the planets revolve. So far, scientists have not been able to establish or prove the existence of life forms on any other planet within the solar system. Often, the search for other life forms has focused on looking at the climatic conditions of the celestial body in question. Scientists assume that life forms on a different planet would need similar conditions as life on earth, such as oxygen, light and water, to grow. This may or may not be true.
