FULL MOON POEM TO GALILEO GALILEI• Full moon poem to Galileo Galilei

• You whose eyes were made to see • what all other eyes would not see,• due glory you rendered saying, "I render• infinite thanks to God for being so kind as• to make me the first observer of marvels • kept hidden from all previous times".

• Given to you was, also, a first born child,• assigned to the Convent of San Matteo, • at so tender an age, with her younger sister!• And as you labored through every tempest, • from the empoverished distant walls • of her Cloister much comfort she sent, • with words of strength and happiness.• And we know that she was, for you, more• than the brightest full moon in your heaven,• and unlike the face of the sun, never

• on her soul, a spot could you have detected!

• Under the canopy of your bed,• the end of all sufferings you patiently awaited;• then in a small room, under a bell tower, • in a room darker that the darkness • that ravaged your kind blind eyes,• your bones were laid to rest.

• But now, from the bell tower of Santa Croce, • resounds your glory,• and the bells of Santa Croce• praise and glorify for ever the brightness• and the beauty of another God-given man,• while your bones rest with Maria Celeste's• in the tomb of Santa Croce.

TIMELINE: (SOCIAL STUDIES)

• Born in 1564, the same year in which Shakespeare was born and the year in which Michelangelo died.

• Studied at the University of Pisa, Italy, appointed chair of mathematics

• His interest in science led Galileo to construct his first telescope in July of 1609.

• He published these discoveries in a book, the Siderius Nuncius (Starry Messenger) which caused an overnight sensation.

• But when the book finally appeared in 1632, it raised an immediate storm of protest leading immediately to Galileo's arrest and famous trial by the Inquisition in Rome that found him guilty of having published a heretical book. In the end, Galileo had no choice but to repent and confess that he had gone too far.

• He was sentenced to life imprisonment, which he spent, for the most part at his own villa at Arcetri near Florence, under the surveillance of the Inquisition

• Galileo died in 1642,

A FEW OF HIS CONTRIBUTIONS• The telescope

• Confirmation of the phases of Venus

• Discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter, named the Galilean moons in his honor

• Observation and analysis of sunspots military compass

WHICH LEADS US TO…

• The Hubble Telescope

• Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth. Its position above the atmosphere, which distorts and blocks the light that reaches our planet, gives it a view of the universe that typically far surpasses that of ground-based telescopes.

TASK

• Use water colors to create a planetary inspired work of art

• Start by lightly dampening the water color paper (use the rough side)

• Use a blotting technique, more water will result in lighter shades, less water will result in more vibrant shades

• Use glitter glue to make the stars.
