Galileo Galilei
    He was an outstanding many in different areas including physics, philosophy, engineering ,astronomy.  He had a reputation been called " the father of science."   He has contributed quite a lot to the scientific field: he invented a telescope that could observe the planets. He was also credited with the invention if the first thermometer in 1606. And his achievement in astronomy is very out-standing；  he observed the moon with craters , mountains,valleys on it; he observed the sun and he discovered the sunspots. Anyway, he was a successful scientist.
   Unfortunately, he died of heart palpitations and a long fever on January 8,1642, at the age of 77.  A few yeas before his death, during his house arrest and only months before he became completely blind, Galileo made his last telescopic discovery and determined that the moon exhibits monthly wobbles on its axis.   Anyway, his contributions played a major role in the scientific revolution. It is a shame that he's gone so quick.
