Galileo Galilei. Moon drawings, 1610. Siderius Nuncivs, Venice.



By Galileo’s time the Moon was believed to be perfectly smooth and incorruptible, like the Sun, based upon the teachings of Aristotle. In 1609 Galileo pointed his telescope to the Moon for the first time. He examined and drew the moon. The first description of Lunar craters were described in his book Sidereus Nuncius.
