On 25th August, 1609, Galileo Galilei, an Italian Astronomer and Philosopher, showed Venetian merchants his new creation - The Telescope. It has been 400 years since and the birth of telescope has been a landmark in scientific research since then. Though it is a landmark now, but back then, things weren't the same. Catholic church never welcomed his device and the sad part is that Galileo had to spend the last decade of his life in house arrest.
The pic above is a reconstruction of the original telescope made by Galileo. Let's wish happy birthday to our beloved "Telescope"...
