If Galileo were alive today, he'd probably be in the Roman Catholic Church's observatory outside Rome--or, better yet, at the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope facility in Arizona. (Note: This link will open a new browser window to keep you from being trapped on the observatory's poorly-designed site.)
