Description
Galileo Galilei was a man who dared to challenge tradition and explore new ideas. Using his telescope, he mapped the heavens and offered evidence that the earth revolved around the sun.
His observations brought the stars down to earth, changing the way people saw themselves and their place in the universe. This new understanding was both exciting and disturbing to some, as it upset a long-held view of heaven and earth.
This book tells Galileo's story through simple language, rich pictures, and his own words, written over 350 years ago. It is a fascinating account that explores the life of this extraordinary individual.
