Did you know that more than 400 years ago, nobody had ever seen the moons of Jupiter? Imagine peeking through a magic tube and discovering whole worlds you never knew existed!
Meet Galileo Galilei, a brave Italian scientist who lived in the early 1600s. He loved looking up at the sky and wondered if Earth was really the center of everything.
Galileo built one of the first telescopes and turned it toward the heavens. Through that simple wooden tube, he saw mountains on the Moon, tiny stars called “Milky Way,” and even four moons dancing around Jupiter!
His discoveries proved not everything revolved around Earth. This bold idea changed how people thought about our place in the universe and kicked off modern astronomy.
Thanks to Galileo’s curiosity and his magic-like telescope, we now explore space with rockets, satellites, and giant observatories. All because one man dared to look up and ask, “What’s out there?”
