Galileo's Universe
()
About this ebook
Galileo was the greatest astronomer of his time. As the first person to look at the heavens with the newly invented telescope, he discovered evidence supporting the sun-centered theory of Copernicus. He also discovered that the moon, the planets and the stars were more complex than anyone imagined.
But Galileo was more than a scientist. He was an outspoken advocate of the truth, of scientific fact over dogmatic belief.
His story is our story. It is as important today as it was in the seventeenth century.
