Event Details

Galileo Galilei first pointed a telescope at celestial objects in the night sky in 1609. His scientific observations transformed our understandings of the Universe. While we cover his advancements in science from over 400 years ago, we’ll also look at how much astronomical observations have changed over time and what those multi-year observations have contributed to science.
