Today we went into the city of Utrecht and were able to visit the stonebourough observatory. We were allowed to attempt to delve into the secrets of the cosmos with recreations of Galileo's own telescopes. However, once it became obvious that it was difficult to even find a star/planet through the telescope, much less view any mind boggling, world-view shattering details, Galileo's accomplishments became that much more impressive.

It was ridiculous how hard it was to find stars with his telescopes. I wonder how he drew the detailed drawings based off what he saw with the telescopes.
