Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientist who formulated the basic law of falling bodies, which he verified by careful measurements. He constructed a telescope with which he studied lunar craters, and discovered four moons revolving around Jupiter and espoused the Copernican cause.http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Galileo.html
