Question
A tongue-in-cheek paper from Carl Sagan et al. notes that a spacecraft named for this scientist observed signs “strongly suggestive of life on Earth.” That spacecraft named for this scientist was troubled by the failed deployment of a high-gain antenna and passed 951 Gaspra in the first-ever asteroid flyby. A group of objects named for this scientist will be studied by the Juice mission and includes an object characterized by its many (*) lineae (“LIN-ee-AY”), which result from tidal heating. This scientist developed a device with a convergent objective lens and a divergent eyepiece lens, allowing him to discover Callisto. For 10 points, name this astronomer who names the four largest moons of Jupiter. ■END■
ANSWER: Galileo Galilei [or Galileo Galilei or Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaulti de Galilei; accept Galilean moons] (The paper by Sagan et al. is “A search for life on Earth from the Galileo spacecraft.”)
