Galileo And Telescopes
galileo and Telescopes

What Galileo had seen through your telescope?
I read that Galileo discovered the rings of Saturn in 1610. With primitive technology back then, how Saturn and its rings looked compared to the images of the 1990 and 2000?
The rings appeared handles attached to a cup of coffee to Galileo. Then went on to sing in the following years and some people thought I was seeing things. He also noted sunspots mountains and craters on the moon and the moons of Jupiter. Look for a copy of your Siderius Nuncis "to see actual drawings.
