    The document details the life and accomplishments of Galileo Galilei. It describes that he was born in 1564 in Italy to a noble family and studied at the University of Pisa without obtaining a degree. As a professor of mathematics, he made several important discoveries including improving the telescope and being the first to observe and document the four largest moons of Jupiter. This led him to support Copernicus' theory that the Earth revolves around the sun, which the Catholic Church rejected. In 1633, Galileo was placed under house arrest for defending the Copernican theory where he remained until his death in 1642.
