Ebook: Galileo's New Universe: The Revolution in Our Understanding of the Cosmos

About 44 years ago, Galileo looked to the sky with his perspicullum, or spyglass, and changed how we see the universe around us forever. Fast forward to the 21st century, when humans have walked on the moon half a dozen times and perspicullums, or telescopes, are several hundred times larger and gather images of phenomenon Galileo couldn't have fathomed. Co-written by the NASA-scientist and author of Astronomy for Dummies and an award- winning astronomy educator, Galileo's New Universe offers two centuries' differing views on the planets, sun, meteors and much more.
