Galileo Galilei first watched the moon with a telescope

415

years ago

30 November 1609,

Galileo Galilei first watched the moon with a telescope. The fact is conceived as the starting point of modern astronomy. For several nights he watched the Earth’s natural satellite with a telescope mounted by him in the San Giorgio Maggiore bell tower in Venice. From what he saw he made sketches, forming the first images of a bark registered outside the Earth. He describes what was seen in the book Sidereus Nuncius of 1610.
