Interesting people do interesting stuff. Galileo's got a bunch of secrets behind him, waiting to be explored at a fab fest in town
So what we're all starry-eyed; only some do more than their dreams. Like young Galileo, who considered priesthood, and ended up unraveling the mysteries of space. But thank God he didn't take his mistress Marina Gamba more seriously than his astronomical adventures. Else, space would've never been spanned, and so many important observations, overlooked. So the next time you view a planet through your telescope, do remember the man and his pursuits not the one that'd have him glaring at you from up above, though!
Meanwhile, the Indo Italian Astronomy fortnight in town, 'From Galileo to Modern Frontiers, ' will help you revisit the legend and his wonder works.
