"The amazing part of that is that Galileo accomplished this without any formal training in optics. It was pure, unyielding innovation. With his enhanced telescope, Galileo turned his gaze skyward, and what he witnessed shattered centuries of belief. The moon was scarred with craters and adorned with mountains. Venus displayed phases akin to our moon, a clear indication of its solar orbit. Perhaps most startling, he uncovered the four moons circling Jupiter, tangible proof that not everything in the cosmos revolved around Earth."
