Galileo Discovers 3 Moons of Jupiter
On this date: Galileo discovers three major moons of Jupiter
Galileo Galilei, with a homemade telescope, noticed three points of light near Jupiter. Initially believing they were distant stars, Galileo’s repeated observations over several nights and realized they were moons orbiting the gas giant.
Well, any of us who has ever looked through a telescope could say the same, for the two principal types in use today were developed by giants: the refractor by Galileo and the reflector by Newton.
