 Introduction Galileo Galilei is one of history's most iconic figures in science and astronomy. Often called the "father of modern science," Galileo's groundbreaking work in astronomy, physics, and the scientific method revolutionized our understanding of the universe. His improvements to the telescope and observations of celestial bodies challenged centuries-old beliefs about the cosmos, particularly the geocentric view that placed Earth at the center of the universe. Galileo's advocacy for the heliocentric model, which positioned the Sun at the center, brought him into conflict with the Catholic Church a controversy that would shape both his legacy and the course of scientific discovery.
