GALILEJ GALILEO. SUPERVISION AND EXPERIENCE

without forgetting that and experience - vernejshie means of knowledge of the nature, Galilej and in astronomy especial value gave supervision to experiment. Kopernik, Bruno and their contemporaries could see in the sky only that is accessible to a naked eye. Galileo Galilej became the first scientists who have begun supervision of the sky by means of constructed it ' visual ' of pipes. The first telescopes which also named ' new points ', have been created in the Netherlands (the name ' a telescope ' has appeared approximately for two years later, than the tool). News about this invention have reached Venice in 1609 Having become interested in this opening, Galilej began to make own experiments with optical glasses which have crowned success.

The Scientist managed to improve considerably the device. At first it has made a telescope with triple increase, then with eightfold, and most perfect of its telescopes gave 32-fold increase! Tiny these pipes Galilee in comparison with the modern powerful telescopes increasing the image in thousand of time were what!

But surprising, tremendous the opening made Galileem by means of these self-made tools were what! The scientist has for ever remembered that excitement which has captured it when it has directed for the first time the telescope on the night sky. The moon looked differently, than usually, and stars in the sky was much more, than it is possible to see with open years!

The Extraordinary world, opened to a look Galilee, has filled with its pleasure and trembling. He, and so often suffering a sleeplessness, has almost ceased to sleep. Its opening overturned the major positions of astronomy and philosophy. They announced a dawn of new outlook. It was great happiness - the first of people to see the Universe other, than it was represented throughout centuries.
