University of Pisa. At first he wanted to become a doctor, but while he was there he became interested in
science and decided to become a scientist. In 1592, a year after his father's death, the University of Padua
invited him to be a professor of mathematics. He stayed there for 19 years, where he became interested in
the stars. He made an instrument which made far-away things look larger and easier to examine. This was
called the telescope. When he was studying the stars, he discovered that the "stars" which moved were not
really stars, but worlds like the earth. He proved the Copernicus was right; the earth and the planets indeed
moved around the sun.
