This book features the following character:
Galileo
Galileo was an Italian astronomer during the Renaissance period; his name synonymous with scientific achievement. Born in Pisa, Italy, in the sixteenth century, Galileo contributed to the era's great rebirth of knowledge. He invented a telescope with which he was able to observe the heavens. He turned long held notions about the universe topsy turvy with his support of the Heliocentric view of the heavens (that the earth goes round the sun). A brilliant man who lived in a time when speaking scientific truth to those in power was still a dangerous preposition.
