GALILEO AND THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION

What do a telescope, microscope, and pendulum have in common? The person behind their use! Yes, that's right - Galileo Galilei! A fascinating man whose mind was always bursting with ideas. And, it was his conviction that he should side with Copernicus that confined him, by a court order, to house arrest for years. To find out just what that belief was, join us for this exciting issue. You'll also meet Galileo's daughter. It's her letters that give us a view of Galileo, the doting father. Travel, too, to the Boston Museum of Science for a behind-the-scenes look at the planetarium - what makes it work and what it can tell us. We'll be waiting to take you on a trip that literally touches the stars!
