The Beautiful, Luxurious Tube Graphics Depict A Richly Historical Theme. The Images Have Been Specially Designed To Symbolise Galileo And His Conflict With The Catholic Church. Galileo Galilei’S Public Championing Of Copernicus’ Theory Of Heliocentrism, Which Was Contrary To The Geocentric Beliefs At The Time, Eventually Led To Him Being Denounced To The Roman Inquisition. He Was Subsequently Tried, Suspected Of Heresy, Forced To Recant, And Spent The Rest Of His Life Under House Arrest. Of Course Galileo, “The Father Of Modern Science” And “The Father Of Modern Observational Astronomy” Was Proved Right In The End.

The Telescope Tube Is Also Adorned With The Words “Galileo 400” And “International Year Of Astronomy” As Well As Key Dates In The Lifetime Of Galileo.
