DRAWINGS BY GALILEO / SUNSPOTS AND THE MOON

"Galileo rendered these near-photographic records by letting the telescope image of the Sun fall on a piece of white paper instead of on his retina. There he faithfully traced them – and later retraced them, reorienting the telescopes inverted vision."

Modifying his telescope, he [Galileo] developed a compound microscope.

“I have observed many tiny animals with great admiration,” he reported, “among which the flea is quite horrible, the gnat and the moth very beautiful; and with great satisfaction I have seen how flies and other little animals can walk attached to mirrors, upside down.”
