Galileo's Daughter

The daughter of Galileo, Maria Celeste, helped out Galileo is many ways. Some of which greatly affects our world today. She greatly helped him to survive, including feeding him and giving him medicine when he was sick, and making sure that he was always in a good enough condition to make good observations. One of the most crucial and important things that she did for him was edit his manuscript, which saved Galileo time and allowed him to put that to use through better observations, which led to proving the church wrong. Furthermore, after Galileo was on trial for making fun of Pope Urban IV in his book, Galileo was put on trial by the Inquisition. Where Maria comes in in this situation is that fact that she fully prepared Galileo for his trial and told him exactly what to say to them.
