At last, the Libraries’ Galileo is up on the Internet Archive!  Sidereus nuncius… or the Starry Messenger. Published in 1610, it contains engravings of the moon as observed through a telescope as well as Galileo’s observation of four objects lined up around Jupiter… To celebrate, this week a few select pages will be tumbl’d.  Here, a two page spread with a map of the Pleiades.
