You would see mountains and valleys if you looked at the Moon through a telescope(望远镜). If you looked at the planet Jupiter, you would see its moons.

Galileo was the first person to see these things through a telescope.

Galileo did not   65   the telescope. It was first made by a Dutch lensmaker(镜片制造人). But Galileo improved the design so he was   66   to study the stars and planets closely. Some people call him the first astronomer(天文学家).

As he studied the sky, Galileo found proof that the planets orbit(沿轨道运行) around the Sun. He was not the first person to believe this, but he was the first to prove that it was true. People of that time believed that Earth was the centre of the universe and   67   in space moved around Earth. Galileo got into trouble with the government and the church for saying that what they believed was wrong. He had to   68   what he said or else he would have gone to jail.

Galileo was more than an astronomer. He was an inventor as well. He invented the first thermometer(温度计). His thermometer did not measure exact temperatures,    69   it did show if a temperature was higher or lower or the same as another temperature. He invented a compass that was used for aiming cannonballs (炮弹) shot out of a cannon. Later the compass was used to survey land. He invented a device that used a horse and buckets to raise water. This was used for irrigation(灌溉).

Galileo thought about the world in a new way. Before Galileo, people did not run experiments or    70   their ideas. It was enough just to think about ideas. Galileo wanted to try out his ideas and see if they worked in the world. Galileo was one of the first real scientists.
