Scientific paper

During the years 1610-1613, the astronomer Galileo discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, charted their nightly positions, and even found that he was able to predict their future positions with a high degree of accuracy. His observing notebooks, now preserved at the National Archives in Florence, Italy, show his observing innovations, improving accuracies and a couple of truly startling astronomical discoveries. More than of just historical interest, his work still has important implications for present day astronomy.
