From a young age, he was a curious boy who never stopped asking "why" about the world around him. Whether it was the movement（轨迹） of the stars , Galileo wanted to understand the hidden rules behind everything. His teachers often praised him for his clever mind, but they also sometimes got tired of his endless questions—little did they know, this curiosity would one day change humanity’s view of the universe. One day in 1609, Galileo heard a amazing rumor(谣言) from Holland（荷兰）: a man had created a "spyglass" that could make faraway objects appear much closer. Most people saw it as a fun toy for sailors or soldiers, but Galileo’s curiosity minded immediately. He didn’t just want to use the spyglass; he wanted to know how it worked and make it better. He spent weeks studying optics(光学), drawing pictures, and testing different lenses(镜头). After countless（无数的） experiments, he built a telescope that could magnify（放大） objects 20 times clearer than the Dutch version—far more powerful than anyone had imagined. Galileo couldn’t wait to turn his invention toward the sky. On a clear night in January 1610, he pointed the telescope at the Moon, expecting to see a perfect area as everyone believed. Instead, he was shocked to find mountains, craters（陨石坑）, and valleys（山谷）—just like the Earth! He was shocked what he saw, amazed by this discovery. Next, he looked at Jupiter and noticed four bright dots（点） moving around it. He realized these were moons orbiting Jupiter, proving that not everything revolved around the Earth—an idea that challenged the traditional beliefs of the time. Despite facing criticism（批评） from the Church and other scientists, Galileo refused to stop exploring. He continued to watch the sky, make new discoveries, and share his findings with the world. His work laid the foundation for modern astronomy(天文学), showing that curiosity and courage to question can lead to amazing breakthroughs(重大突破). Today, Galileo is remembered as the "father of modern science," and his story inspires millions to keep asking questions and chasing their curiosity. 26.
