Description
In the Footsteps of Galileo: A Lecture
Friday, April 3, 7:00 PM
Learn about who Galileo was, the time he lived in, what science looked like during his lifetime, and the profound impact he had on the development of scientific discovery, religion, and philosophy. This lecture by Pennington Planetarium director Jon Elvert addresses who really discovered the telescope and how Galileo’s observations of our moon, the phases of Venus, and the four largest moons of Jupiter formed the basis for the modern scientific process. Appropriate visual imagery will accompany the talk. (If possible, we’ll have a guest appearance by Galileo himself!)
