Galileo’s outstanding contribution to Astronomy and Science

by Professor Frank Ventura

 

He promotes the empirical method for doing science

He sees the potential of the latest technology for his studies, develops it and improves it

He makes careful and systematic observations and records results

He derives as much information as possible from his first hand observations

He publishes his results without delay and disseminates them widely, this permits a critical peer review of his discoveries and interpretations
