A preservationist group took over the site in the late 1800s, and today, it is part of a national historic park with tours, museums and ongoing archaeological digs that continue to reveal new findings.Jamestown was not the first successful permanent European settlement in what would become the United States; that distinction belongs to St. Augustine, in Florida, which was founded by the Spanish in 1565.

In 1609, Galileo Galilei used an early version of the telescope to discover the Moon was covered in pits and mountains, similar to Earth, this was a huge discovery due to scientists believing the Moon was smooth and round.
Galileo then saw the four “stars” that were surrounding Jupiter, which he discovered were actually moons that were in orbit of Jupiter. When Galileo had looked at Venus he observed that the planet orbited the Sun not the Earth as he had originally believed.
Galileo then was curious about the Sun and pointed his telescope at it, unaware that the Sun would damage his eyesight. He discovered that the sun has dark sunspots on its surface.
