Handwritten notes by Galileo about the moons of Jupiter he saw orbiting the planet with his telescope
Part of a draft of a letter by Galileo in which he described the power of his new telescope. In these drawings he noted what he observed when he first looked through the telescope at Jupiter and was able to see its four moons.
