Galileo discovered man.y interesting tacts and observed the motintains on the moon, spots on the sun, 'and phases ef Venus and noticed that Satura pre- sented an oblong &ppearance. His most famous work, . owever, was the discov- ery of the satellites of Jupiter. .GaIlle thôughit that the earth moved around the sun, but'lu thosàe days most ef the people believed that the opposite, was 'the case and that the earth was; the center ef the universe.; *After Gallleo's death ln 1642 his work was8 carried on byr another astronomer who promised Galileo- on bis, death bed that he. would continue the investiga-' tions and observations which liadt been made with se much self-sacrifice..
