On the basis of newly available archival evidence, Shea and Artigas reexamine the famed clash of Galileo (1564-1642) with the Catholic Church for espousing the view that the Earth orbits the Sun. Challenging several scholarly and literary interpretations of this conflict between science and religion, they argue that a much more complex relationship existed then and now

"In this Discussion Kepler gives reasons for accepting Galileo’s observations—although he was not able to verify them from want of a telescope—and entirely supports Galileo’s views and conclusions, adducing his own previous speculations, or pointing out, as in the case of Galileo’s idea of earth-light on the moon, the previous conception of[ix] the same explanation of the phenomenon. He rejects, however, Galileo’s explanation of the copper colour of the moon in eclipses. Kepler ends by expressing unbounded enthusiasm at the discovery of Jupiter’s satellites, and the argument it furnishes in support of the Copernican theory." -Introduction

In 1609 Galileo first used his telescope to kick start the science of observational astronomy - an event that proved to be of enormous historic, scientific, and cultural importance. Galileo and 400 Years of Telescopic Astronomy will feature the life and achievements of Galileo, around which has pivoted the story of four centuries of telescopic astronomy. The book will detail how astronomy has progressed through four centuries and contain glimpses of future space research and astronomy goals. Uniquely, interwoven with the text will be a range of practical projects for backyard astronomers in which to participate, projects that serve to illustrate many of Galileo's scientific discoveries.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath. From a young age, Galileo showed a great aptitude for mathematics and science. He went on to study at the University of Pisa, where he made his first important scientific discovery: the laws of motion of a pendulum. After leaving Pisa, Galileo taught mathematics at the University of Padua for nearly twenty years. During this time, he conducted a wide range of scientific experiments, including studies of inclined planes, falling bodies, and the motion of projectiles. He also invented the telescope, which he used to make groundbreaking observations of the heavens. In 1610, Galileo published a book called The Starry Messenger, in which he described his telescopic observations of the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus. His discoveries included the four largest moons of Jupiter, which are now known as the Galilean moons. Galileo's work helped to overthrow the prevailing geocentric model of the universe, which placed the Earth at the center, and to establish the heliocentric model, which places the Sun at the center. Galileo's support for the heliocentric model brought him into conflict with the Catholic Church, which at the time held great power and influence. In 1633, Galileo was put on trial by the Inquisition and forced to recant his views. However, he continued to work on his scientific theories in secret, and in 1638 he published his most important work, Two New Sciences. Galileo's work had a profound impact on the development of science. He is considered to be one of the founders of the scientific method, and his discoveries helped to lay the foundation for modern physics and astronomy. Galileo is often referred as the "father of observational astronomy" and the "father of modern science." In the coming following chapters, we will explore Galileo's life and work in more detail. We will discuss his scientific discoveries, his conflict with the Church, and his legacy as one of the greatest scientists of all time.

'Philosophy is written in this great book which is continually open before our eyes - I mean the universe...' Galileo's astronomical discoveries changed the way we look at the world, and our place in the universe. Threatened by the Inquisition for daring to contradict the literal truth of the Bible, Galileo ignited a scientific revolution when he asserted that the Earth moves. This generous selection from his writings contains all the essential texts for a reader to appreciate his lasting significance. Mark Davie's new translation renders Galileo's vigorous Italian prose into clear modern English, while William R. Shea's version of the Latin Sidereal Message makes accessible the book that created a sensation in 1610 with its account of Galileo's observations using the newly invented telescope. All Galileo's contributions to the debate on science and religion are included, as well as key documents from his trial before the Inquisition in 1633. A lively introduction and clear notes give an overview of Galileo's career and explain the scientific and philosophical background to the texts.

This title in the GENIUS SCIENTISTS AND THEIR GENIUS IDEAS series is the perfect introduction to the life and work of the amazing scientist, Galileo. Many historians credit Galileo as the "founder of modern experimental science." But his life was not easy. His outspoken beliefs and discoveries earned him many enemies. The Roman Catholic Church disagreed with Galileo regarding Earths position in the universe. The Church punished him and he spent the rest of his life under house arrest.
