Galileo 400


File:Galileo.arp.300pix.jpg

400 years ago today Galileo Galilei publicly demonstrated his telescope for the first time. Influencing numerous scientists and literally bringing new light to our understading of the universe. Quoting Stephen Hawking:

"Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science."


Kudos to us all, thanks to him.
