Fun fact about Galileo and the Moon. Late in life, Galileo discovered the librations of the moon, small oscillations in the Moon’s orientation that allow us to peek at small bits of the dark side. At the time of this discovery, he was already 68 and in the process of going blind. He went completely blind a few years later.

Is this in a museum somewhere? Would be cool to see up close

Something about these is so calming, thanks Gal Gal.
