Galileo Galilei — Sidereus Nuncius

"Sidereus Nuncius" by Galileo Galilei, published in 1610, marks a pivotal moment in the history of astronomy. In this groundbreaking work, Galileo presents his observations made with the newly invented telescope, revealing astonishing discoveries about the heavens. From the craters and mountains of the Moon to the moons of Jupiter, Galileo's observations challenged the prevailing geocentric model of the universe and laid the foundation for modern observational astronomy. This edition, adorned with insightful commentary, offers readers a glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest scientific minds and celebrates the dawn of a new era in our understanding of the cosmos.
 
The new Black Letter Press edition holds both Latin and the English translation in one Book. The small hardcover is bound in Linen and is embossed with a circle, that reminds to a view through the telescope. In the circle, you see Galileo's drawings of the Pleiades star cluster.
