Galileo was born in 1564. He was a professor of mathematics. It is a common misconception that Galileo invented the telescope. However, that is not true. Galileo was the first person to look at the sky through a telescope and make observations about where the earth was located. He wrote a book about the things he saw through the telescope Siderious Nancius (The Sidereal Messenger). This book spoke of how the moon was not smooth, and also has mountains and imperfections.
