Galileo's Moon Images
2016


From the archives on medieval Europe the images of Galileo's moon drawings was offered for public viewing.

As a refresher, Galileo was imprisoned by the Catholic Church for his moon illustrations along with other images, plus, text he had written on the topic. Soon after his short stay in jail he was given house arrest for the remaining years of his life.
