In 1610 Galileo pointed a new telescope at the night sky and found mountains on the moon, four bodies circling Jupiter, and stars invisible to the naked eye. His short report, the Sidereal Messenger, announced them all and changed astronomy overnight. This edition includes the dedication to Cosmo de Medici and an extract from Kepler. Read the moment the heavens grew larger.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
