In 1610, Galileo published the Siderius nuncius, or Starry Messenger, a “hurried little masterpiece” in John Heilbron’s words. Presenting to the world his remarkable observations using the recently invented telescope–the craters of the moon, the satellites of Jupiter–Galileo dramatically challenged our idea of the perfection of the heavens and the centrality of the Earth in the universe. Indeed, the appearance of the little book is regarded as one of the great moments in the history of science
