It was 400 years ago that Galileo showed off his telescope to Leonardo Donato, the ruler of Venice at the time, and to the Senate and to several merchants. Galileo's telescope did not look like this, but this image is similar to the one portayed in this painting:#2: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 15, 2009
