New Inventions
There are many new advancements for people who travel. Some of these advancements include the a better magnetic compass, better mapping and the invention of the astrolabe. With the astrolabe sailors can now determine the latitude and longitude they are at. Another important invention is the printing press. Johannes Gutenburg invents the printing press, which makes books cheaper and more widespread. Before the printing press books had to hand copied. Now books could be produced faster and more people could purchase them. The printing press helped Italy to become more literate. Some other inventions of this time include eye glasses, window glass, the handgun, the pencil, wallpaper, the pocket watch, the thermometer, the telescope, the submarine, and finally the parachute.

Galileo
Galileo was a great inventor and thinker during the Renaissance. Galileo builds a very powerful telescope and uses it to gaze at the stars. He publishes his findings, and says that the Earth and all of the other planets revolve around the sun. This is against what most people believe and people call him a heretic. Galileo was convicted of heresy and was sentenced to house arrest. Galileo died while on house arrest.
