Galileo's Starry Observations

Seminar Enrichment Series

In The Starry Messenger, Galileo records the first-ever observations of our starry sky, as seen through a telescope. Using telescopes far superior to Galileo’s spyglass, we will repeat his observations and explore both the surface of the Moon and whether objects orbit around the wandering points of light they called Jupiter and Saturn. Participants should dress warmly to work outdoors.
