13 März 1610 Jahr - Galileo, The Starry Messenger

Beschreibung:

The Starry Messenger, written in 1610, provided a lively account of Galileo’s telescopic work. This is where Galileo discussed all of his most important works, such as many observations, and the discovery of the moons of Jupiter. He also discussed the existence of craters and mountains on the moon, sunspots and solar radiation, and the phases of the planet Venus. The impact of the Starry Messenger was immediate and forceful. Skeptics questioned Galileo’s honesty, as well as the telescope itself.
