In the early 1600s, Galilieo Galilei turned a new invention the telescope, upon the night sky, and a great advancment was made in the science of astromony. Galileo was the first scientist to view alein worlds in more detail than wpossible as with the naked eye. He saw that the moon's surface was not smooth, but that it had what looked like mountains. Even more important, he discovered approximatley four small bodies orbiting around the planet Jupiter. Galileo's discovery destroyed the bases for the belief that all bodies in the solar system revolved around Earth.

How he helped the sailors was pretty interesting. He guided ships through the dangerous passages of the French Pass. The French Pass was very rocky and there were dangerous currents and with Pelorus Jack's help no ships ever crashed. Soon he became locally famous and he was shown in postcards and newspapers.

Ants

An ant colony can have a few or many ants. The colony makes an ant hill then dig a nests under the ground. Ants have pretty busy lives there are special jobs for different ants.

The queen ant is the most important ant of all of them. But that's only because she lays the eggs to make the colony bigger so they can survive more easily.

The worker ants are always very busy. They have to care for eggs and young ants. The worker ants need to gather food for the colony. If the nest gets destroyed repairing the nest is another part of their job.

The soldier ants are very strong. They have to protect the nest frequently to keep the colony together and safe. They are recognizable for their large jaws.
