Age 13: The German artist Albrecht DÃ¼rer (1471-1528) was one of the greatest figures of the Northern Renaissance.

Galileo is considered one of the greatest astronomers of all time. His discovery of Jupiterâs major moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) revolutionized astronomy and helped speed the acceptance of the Copernican Model of the universe. However, Galileo is also known for the numerous scientific inventions he made during his lifetime. These included his famous telescope, but also a series of devices that would have a profound impact on surveying, the use of artillery, the development of clocks, and meteorology.
