This book was released on 1989-04-15 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sidereus Nuncius (usually Sidereal Messenger, also Starry Messenger or Sidereal Message) is a short astronomical treatise (or pamphlet) published in New Latin by Galileo Galilei in March 1610. It was the first published scientific work based on observations made through a telescope, and it contains the results of Galileo's early observations of the imperfect and mountainous Moon, the hundreds of stars that were unable to be seen in either the Milky Way or certain constellations with the naked eye, and the Medicean Stars that appeared to be circling Jupiter.[1] The Latin word nuncius was typically used during this time period to denote messenger; however, albeit less frequently, it was also interpreted as message. While the title Sidereus Nuncius is usually translated into English as Sidereal Messenger, many of Galileo's early drafts of the book and later related writings indicate that the intended purpose of the book was "simply to report the news about recent developments in astronomy, not to pass himself off solemnly as an ambassador from heaven."[2] Therefore, the correct English translation of the title is Sidereal Message (or often, Starry Message)."--Wikiped, Nov/2014.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this Discussion Kepler gives reasons for accepting Galileo’s observations—although he was not able to verify them from want of a telescope—and entirely supports Galileo’s views and conclusions, adducing his own previous speculations, or pointing out, as in the case of Galileo’s idea of earth-light on the moon, the previous conception of[ix] the same explanation of the phenomenon. He rejects, however, Galileo’s explanation of the copper colour of the moon in eclipses. Kepler ends by expressing unbounded enthusiasm at the discovery of Jupiter’s satellites, and the argument it furnishes in support of the Copernican theory." -Introduction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Sidereal Messenger of Galileo Galilei,' readers are presented with a seminal collection that stands at the crossroads of science and literature, showcasing the groundbreaking work of Galileo Galilei alongside the complementary contributions of Johannes Kepler. This anthology offers a rare glimpse into the galvanizing moments of early modern astronomy through the lens of its most pivotal figures, underscoring the variety of approachesranging from meticulous observational reports to fervent correspondencesthat together have laid the foundations of contemporary celestial studies. The dialogues within, rich in both empirical evidence and speculative inquiry, serve to highlight the dynamic interplay between observation, hypothesis, and the relentless quest for knowledge that defined the era. The contributing authors, Galilei and Kepler, bring forth a compelling narrative of intellectual kinship and divergent methodologies toward understanding the cosmos. From the comprehensive observations and telescopic discoveries of Galileo that shifted humanitys perspective of our place in the universe, to Keplers mathematically driven insights that led to the laws of planetary motion, this collection encapsulates an era of unparalleled scientific revolution. Embedded within their historical context, these works not only mirror the epochal shift from geocentric to heliocentric models but also embody the spirited discourse between contemporaries that propelled the advancement of space science. 'The Sidereal Messenger of Galileo Galilei' is not merely an anthology; it is an invitation to witness the unfolding of human understanding of space through the minds of its most visionary pioneers. Readersfrom students and scholars of the history of science to those with a casual interest in astronomywill find in these pages a wellspring of knowledge, inspiration, and a profound appreciation for the intersection of science, philosophy, and the literary craft. Exploring this collection promises not only a deeper understanding of the milestones of scientific inquiry but also an appreciation for the enduring curiosity that drives humanity to explore beyond the known.

Book Synopsis Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems by : Galileo
Download or read book Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems written by Galileo and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2001-10-02 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, published in Florence in 1632, was the most proximate cause of his being brought to trial before the Inquisition. Using the dialogue form, a genre common in classical philosophical works, Galileo masterfully demonstrates the truth of the Copernican system over the Ptolemaic one, proving, for the first time, that the earth revolves around the sun. Its influence is incalculable. The Dialogue is not only one of the most important scientific treatises ever written, but a work of supreme clarity and accessibility, remaining as readable now as when it was first published. This edition uses the definitive text established by the University of California Press, in Stillman Drake’s translation, and includes a Foreword by Albert Einstein and a new Introduction by J. L. Heilbron.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directing his polemics against the pedantry of his time, Galileo, as his own popularizer, addressed his writings to contemporary laymen. His support of Copernican cosmology, against the Church's strong opposition, his development of a telescope, and his unorthodox opinions as a philosopher of science were the central concerns of his career and the subjects of four of his most important writings. Drake's introductory essay place them in their biographical and historical context.

Book Synopsis The Invention of the Telescope by : Albert Van Helden
Download or read book The Invention of the Telescope written by Albert Van Helden and published by Philadelphia : American Philosophical Society. This book was released on 1977 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ours is an age of science and technology, based on precision instruments. The first such device to strengthen our feeble human senses in our striving to comprehend the strange and elusive universe around us was the telescope. Cornelis de Waard, in his "De uitvinding der verrekijkers" (The Hague, 1906), had uncovered many new documents bearing on the genesis of the telescope. Van Helden began this project as a translation of de Waard's study. However, Van Helden decided that the profession and de Waard's memory would be better served by a collection and translation of all the relevant primary sources named in his study. Contents of this volume: Intro.; The Background; Between Porta and Lipperhey, 1589-1608; and Documents. Illus. Reprint.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finocchiaro's new and revised translations have done what the Inquisition could not: they have captured an exceptional range of Galileo's career while also letting him speak--in clear English. No other volume offers more convenient or more reliable access to Galileo's own words, whether on the telescope, the Dialogue, the trial, or the mature theory of motion. --Michael H. Shank, Professor of the History of Science, University of Wisconsin–Madison
Download or read book I, Galileo written by Bonnie Christensen and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed author-illustrator Bonnie Christensen adopts the voice of Galileo and lets him tell his own tale in this outstanding picture book biography. The first person narration gives this book a friendly, personal feel that makes Galileo's remarkable achievements and ideas completely accessible to young readers. And Christensen's artwork glows with the light of the stars he studied. Galileo's contributions were so numerous—the telescope! the microscope!—and his ideas so world-changing—the sun-centric solar system!—that Albert Einstein called him "the father of modern science." But in his own time he was branded a heretic and imprisoned in his home. He was a man who insisted on his right to pursue the truth, no matter what the cost—making his life as interesting and instructive as his ideas.
Book Synopsis Selections from Kepler's Astronomia Nova by : Johannes Kepler
Download or read book Selections from Kepler's Astronomia Nova written by Johannes Kepler and published by Green Cat Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johannes Kepler wrote Astronomia Nova (1609) in a singleminded drive to sweep away the ancient and medieval clutter of spheres and orbs and to establish a new truth in astronomy, based on physical causality. Thus a good part of the book is given over to a nontechnical discussion of how planets can be made to move through space by physical forces. This is the theme of the readings in the present module. The selection includes Kepler's Introduction as well as a selection of chapters that develop the physics of planetary motion. In these ground-breaking chapters, the true Kepler emerges, not as a speculative mystic or a number-crunching drudge, but as a first-rate scientific thinker with a wonderfully engaging narrative style.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instrument can change the world and compel us to rethink our place in the universe. The telescope did just this, but only when it was used by Galileo, whose eye was prepared to see new things and whose hand was able to depict what he saw. It was not only because Galileo was a gifted and persistent observer, but also because he was an exceptional draughtsman that he was able to discover what others had failed to see or lacked the ability to record.
Download or read book On Sunspots written by Galileo Galilei and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-10-30 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galileo’s telescopic discoveries, and especially his observation of sunspots, caused great debate in an age when the heavens were thought to be perfect and unchanging. Christoph Scheiner, a Jesuit mathematician, argued that sunspots were planets or moons crossing in front of the Sun. Galileo, on the other hand, countered that the spots were on or near the surface of the Sun itself, and he supported his position with a series of meticulous observations and mathematical demonstrations that eventually convinced even his rival. On Sunspots collects the correspondence that constituted the public debate, including the first English translation of Scheiner’s two tracts as well as Galileo’s three letters, which have previously appeared only in abridged form. In addition, Albert Van Helden and Eileen Reeves have supplemented the correspondence with lengthy introductions, extensive notes, and a bibliography. The result will become the standard work on the subject, essential for students and historians of astronomy, the telescope, and early modern Catholicism.
