Program Description
About This Program
Look back at the life of Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, the first astronomer to observe the heavens using a telescope of his own creation and publish what he had seen. A late date 'Renaissance Man' who helped propel the science of astronomy into the ‘Age of Enlightenment’, his greatest contribution was his observation of the "Galilean" objects that amateurs can observe today. Afterwards, weather permitting, the author will setup outdoors a small telescope for observing.
