Galileo

To compare myself against a famous person from the past can be quiet difficult yet it can be discovered that even the smallest things are what we both are fascinated by.

Rumors of a new invention called a spyglass that can let far objects seem nearer caught Galileo’s attention, leading him to make his own contraption, but with a better power. Such an invention led him to have a raised salary and the spyglass of back has been renamed as the telescope. Using the tools he made, Galileo started to observe the skies. What did he find? The...
