Synopsis
Excerpt from Science Readers for Silent Reading, Vol. 6: Early Men of Science
As soon as Galileo, the astrono'mer of Italy, heard of this discovery, he thought it would help him to see the stars better. So he made an instrument not much bigger than a toy spyglass, which he called a looking tube. This was the best eye that had ever been turned toward the stars.
Galileo's full name was Galileo Galilei, but as he grew to manhood he preferred to be known only by his first name. The baby Galileo was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. The child was to become one of the greatest philosophers and inventors the world has ever known, but of course no one suspected it then. His father was a merchant of Pisa, a man of some learning who wrote on the science of music. He gave his son the best education to be had in those days.
