Galileo, Jupiter's moon, and the telescope

Coates, Eileen S. (author.).

Summary: "Galileo has been referred to as the father of modern science. Even though he didn't invent the very first telescope, he did invent the first telescope that could see into space. This book features Galileo's process of altering the telescope, as well as the how STEM concepts helped him make his discoveries. Readers will learn about Galileo's early life and how his discoveries have affected the way we understand Earth's place in the solar system. Full-color photographs and informative fact boxes supplement the main text."--
