telescope

Four hundred years ago, in 1609, Galileo Galilei made his first telescope and turned it to the night sky. In January, 1610, he discovered four moons of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede.

The International Year of Astronomy is being celebrated in 2009 to honor both this event and the publication of _Astronomia nova_ by Johannes Kepler the same year.
