Developed by Galileo Galilei.

This ancient weather instrument was invented by Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). He is best known for his works involving gravity and astronomy. He is often credited with inventing the microscope and the early development of the telescope. His career was not without controversy as he was twice summoned before the Inquisition at Rome, and made to renounce his beliefs and writings supporting Copernican theory (the Earth revolves around the Sun) which contradicted that of the church at the time.

This is a replica of Galileo’s thermometer based on his discovery that the density of liquids change as temperature varies. Each of the glass balls is accurately weighted by partially filling the spheres with liquid. When the temperature rises the liquid in the glass cylinder becomes less dense and the balls sink slowly to the bottom.

Galileo Thermometers are designed to add character and charm to any home or office environment and make an attractive gift. Everyone can appreciate the simple beauty of colorful orbs floating in a glass cylinder. Developed by Galileo Galilei.
