The Life and Achievements of Galileo Galilei
19 May 2009, 14:30 UTC
A short biography of Galileo, discussing some of the accomplishments that have made some call him the "Father of Modern Science." The main focus will be his writings on heliocentrism and conflicts with the Roman Catholic Church, but his personal life and contributions outside of astronomy will also be covered. A native of Los Angeles, Haulley would regularly go to Griffith Park Observatory as a child in the 1970s. After lurking for several years on the edges of show business, he spent almost 10 years in the US Navy as an air traffic controller. He is still in the Navy Reserves, and have gone back to school with the final goal of becoming a teacher. He lives in Waldorf, Maryland with his wife Tammie and daughter Tanda. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSOR: This episode of "365 Days of Astronomy" is sponsored by the American Association of Variable Star Observers, the world's leader in variable star data and information, bringing professional and amateur astronomers together to observe and analyze variable stars, and promoting research and education using variable star data.
