Galileu i el telescopi. Saber i veure

Abstract

Galileo and the Telescope. Knowing and Seeing.
The astronomical discoveries made by Galileo using the telescope transformed astronomy. Galileo presented them as clear evidence of the Copernican theory. However, proponents of traditional Christianized cosmology attacked him from all sides, especially theologians. The Church condemned the theory and the Jesuits, obedient to their superiors, undertook the task of providing theoretical legitimacy, a task which persists even today.
