Catalogue 500 : his writings, his friends, his opponents / Galileo Galilei.
Galileo Galilei 1564-1642
ספרBetween 1608 and 1610 the canopy of the night sky was ripped open by an object created almost by accident: a cylinder with lenses at both ends. Galileo’s Telescope tells how this ingenious device evolved into a precision instrument that would transcend the limits of human vision and transform humanity’s view of its place in the cosmos.
