I think Galileo Galilei should be in this year's hall of fame because of the many things he did to revolutionize the way we think of outer space, and expanded our knowledge of the mysterious things out there. Born in Pisa, Italy in 1564, he had a knack for Science and Math, especially Astronomy. As he got older he wanted to be recognized for his work, and he opened a shop for mathematical gadgets, like compasses. One of his many feats is his development of the Copernicanism system. This was a system he proposed that changed the idea that everything revolved around the earth, and instead revolved around the sun. He also discovered four of Jupiter's biggest moons: Io, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa, which are now known as the Galilean moons.
