To many the Universe is a closed book of secrets never to be read. Four hundred years ago, an unknown court mathematician in Italy opened that book and laid the foundation for modern science. Galileo Galilei turned his telescope to the heavens to discover mountains and craters on the moon, four moons of Jupiter, and countless stars never before seen. Even more significant was his method of observation and mathematical analysis. He taught future scientists the way to discover the laws of nature.
In this session the professor will return to discuss some of his most recent discoveries. Using the gifts of a storyteller and actively involving the audience, Galileo will take his audience through discoveries that changed the very nature of science.
First person living history programs have become a staple of informal educational institutions like museums, planetariums and libraries as well as scholastic settings. We will be examining how to use this theatrical technique to educate, entertain and bring Astronomy to life.
