Narration Toward Books Sidereus Nuncius, or The Sidereal Messenger

"This fine translation is a god-send. . . . Surely you want to read what Galileo wrote. If so buy this book. Van Helden's introduction is scholarly; no one knows more about Galileo's telescope; the translation is superb; Van Helden's review of the reception of the Sidereal Messenger is profound; the bibliography is extensive. What more can I say?"—David W. Hughes, The Observatory

"[Sidereus nunclus] has never before been made available in its entirety in a continuous form, with full notes and comment. The introduction, translation and notes by Van Helden are a splendid example of the best scholarship and fullest accessibility. . . . we can now truly get to grips with the phenomenon of Galileo and what his life and work should mean to us today."—Robert Temple, Nature

Critique About Books Sidereus Nuncius, or The Sidereal Messenger

Conoscevo questo trattato solo per alcuni passi, frammenti di un tutto, che ora ho riscoperto nella sua interezza, solida e armoniosa, grazie ad alcuni commenti anobiani. Lho gustato su più livelli: prima di tutto per la rilevanza scientifica, certo, ma anche per la semplicità del resoconto, per lo stupore bambino che vi ho trovato nelle sue diverse sfumature, dall'incredulità alla perplessità e alla meraviglia, insieme allumiltà con cui lo Scienziato offre le sue scoperte allUmanità: specchio

I really enjoyed reading this. I'm particularly glad that I chose to read this particular translation, as it was very accessible and came with some particularly delightful additions by the translator. The historical information and the reaction of Galileo's scientific peers (particularly Kepler) was useful and entertaining. The only gripe I have with the book is editorial - the NOOK Book edition from Barnes and Noble has several instances where the letter e was turned into a letter c. I'm sure

Es un libro muy diferente a todo lo que alguna vez allá leído, es un libro de divulgación científica escrito por nada menos que Galileo! me gusto muchísimo que invitara a los demás científicos a observar con el, explica detalladamente como fue el descubrimiento y observación de las cuatro estrellas de Jupiter literal es un diario, por casi dos meses y eso es lo que me encanta no es tan simple como que vio por su telescopio y descubrió las estrellas y ya esta, día a día describe su la distancia y

A fascinating, and surprisingly readable, peek into one of the most defining moments in our intellectual history -- Galileo's first study of the heavens through a telescope. He discovers mountains on the moon, the moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn (though he is at a loss to explain Saturn's shape; it will be decades still before people realize they're rings), sun spots, the moon-like phases of Venus, and more. Galileo's text itself describes in detail his discoveries of our moon, and his

Um brevíssimo livro onde Galileu dá a conhecer as suas descobertas em relação à superfície da Lua e aos movimentos de quatro corpos em torno de Júpiter (na altura apelidados de "planetas Mediceus", hoje Luas galileanas), descobertas essas tornadas possíveis pelo uso de um telescópio (que era, também em si mesmo, uma novidade). Escrito num tom de celebração, enaltecimento e panfletário, nesta pequeníssima obra Galileu apresenta os seus feitos ao mundo e dedica-os a Cosme II de Medici (e sim, os

I've reached the era of the Scientific Revolution in my course of self-education. I've generally ignored science and math both in my studies and in my life. Science is not, as the kids say, my boo (alternately: my jam). But I do try to select one work from the science and maths realm for every 6-to-8-hundred year period of history, literature and philosophy that I read. The Sidereal Messenger was an obvious choice for both its importance to the scientific community and its slim spine which

You have to love that title page, with GG describing the Jovian moons moving with "wonderful swiftness"--I mean, he really was the first person to be seeing all of this! Then unfortunately comes that gusher of brown-nosing to his sponsor (Colonel Whatshisname). Oh yeah, and then he calls Tycho Brahe an idiot (redolent of the combative climate of the times, also embodied by the perennially embattled Giordano Bruno). The lengthy account of the Medician Stars' peregrinations was no doubt necessary
