Synopsis
"In every age, there are courageous individuals who dare to break with tradition, explore new ideas, and challenge accepted truths. Galileo Galilei was one such figure—a genius who forever changed our understanding of the universe. He was the first to turn the telescope to the heavens, mapping the stars and offering undeniable evidence that the Earth is not the fixed center of the universe, but revolves around the sun alongside other planets. In Starry Messenger, Peter Sis brings Galileo’s remarkable story to life through beautifully woven illustrations, simple yet profound language, and Galileo’s own words written over 350 years ago. This extraordinary book offers a vivid glimpse into the life of a man whose discoveries continue to resonate with truth and inspire generations."
