Although Galileo was probably the most famous astronomer of the age, his works were, by that time, on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum Index of Prohibited Books], so one must assume Riccioli was a bit leery of giving Galileo too prominent a place on the Moon (although, surprisingly, he did give Copernicus -- whose book was also on the Index -- one). As Whitaker notes (p. 65) Riccioli relegated Galileo and his fellow Copernicans to the [[Oceanus%20Procellarum|Sea of Storms]]. According to [[Whitaker|Whitaker]] (pp. 123-5 and 212), Riccioli used the name '''Galilaeus''' (a Latinized version of Galileo's family name) to designate the albedo feature [[Reiner%20Gamma|Reiner Gamma]]; thought, at that time, to be a minor crater. When [[M%C3%A4dler|Mädler]] discovered it was not a crater, he moved the name to its present location, and changed the spelling to '''Galiläi''', which is a Germanized form of the Latin '''Galilaei''' (meaning "of Galilei"). According to Mary Blagg's ''[[Collated%20List|Collated List]]'' (where this crater appears as catalog #1843), Schmidt used both forms while Neison used '''Galilai''' on his map and '''Galileo''' in his index. In 1935 the present name was adopted into the original IAU nomenclature of [[Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller|Blagg and Müller]], although the a & e were probably meant to be combined into the Latin ligature æ .

==Nomenclature==<br />
<br />
* Named for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei Galileo Galilei] (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642), an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who is closely associated with the scientific revolution. His achievements include the first systematic studies of uniformly accelerated motion, improvements to the telescope, a variety of astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo is often referred to as the "father of modern astronomy", as the "father of modern physics", and as the "father of science". Click [/Galileo%20Galilei here] for more on Galileo's contributions to lunar science.<br />
* The naming of this crater has a rather tortured history. The modern [/IAU%20nomenclature IAU nomenclature] descends most directly from that used by the Jesuit priest [/Riccioli Riccioli] on his map from 1651. Although Galileo was probably the most famous astronomer of the age, his works were, by that time, on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum Index of Prohibited Books], so one must assume Riccioli was a bit leery of giving Galileo too prominent a place on the Moon (although, surprisingly, he did give Copernicus -- whose book was also on the Index -- one). As Whitaker notes (p. 65) Riccioli relegated Galileo and his fellow Copernicans to the [/Oceanus%20Procellarum Sea of Storms]. According to [/Whitaker Whitaker] (pp. 123-5 and 212), Riccioli used the name '''Galilaeus''' (a Latinized version of Galileo's family name) to designate the albedo feature [/Reiner%20Gamma Reiner Gamma]; thought, at that time, to be a minor crater. When [/M%C3%A4dler Mädler] discovered it was not a crater, he moved the name to its present location, and changed the spelling to '''Galiläi''', which is a Germanized form of the Latin '''Galilaei''' (meaning "of Galilei"). According to Mary Blagg's ''[/Collated%20List Collated List]'' (where this crater appears as catalog #1843), Schmidt used both forms while Neison used '''Galilai''' on his map and '''Galileo''' in his index. In 1935 the present name was adopted into the original IAU nomenclature of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller], although the a & e were probably meant to be combined into the Latin ligature æ . Most such spellings requiring non-standard characters were removed in 1961 when the IAU adopted the recommendations in [/PLA%20Table%20III Table III] of Kuiper's ''Photographic Lunar Atlas'', although '''Galilæi''' is not specifically mentioned. <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher [[Image:JimMosher-lg.jpg|16px|JimMosher]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher JimMosher]</span><br />
