Sidereus Nuncius, or The Sidereal Messenger. Translated with introduction, concl
From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Overall very good and clean. - Galileo Galileis Sidereus Nuncius is perhaps the most dramatic scientific book ever published. It announced new and unexpected phenomena in the heavens, revealed by a mysterious new instrument. Galileo had ingeniously improved the rudimentary spyglasses that appeared in Europe in 1608, and in the autumn of 1609 he pointed his twenty-powered spyglass at the sky. This new instrument and Galileos brilliant use of it revealed astonishing sights: mountains on the Moon, fixed stars invisible to the naked eye, individual stars in the Milky Way, and four moons around the planet Jupiter.
