Galileo is often cited as being the father of modern science. He is the first person to document Jupiter's moons, sunspots, and the phases of Venus. Further,

he arguably reforged scientific inquiry to

include a framework of observation,

analysis, and persuasion.

This letterbox microcache is

dedicated to the 400th year

celebration of Galileo turning

his aided eye to the night

sky in 1609. 

Here’s a little poetry

inspired by my love of the

dark night sky, four moons

of which may lead you to your 

own awe inspiring discovery.

 

Have fun!
