Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Galileo Galilei and the Movement of the Planets presents a fascinating insight into the life of Galileo Galilei, who believed in the power of scientific observation over traditional ideas. His detailed study of the night sky was instrumental in supporting the theory that planets revolve around the sun.

Galilei's defiant personality, however, brought him powerful adversaries. This graphic biography vividly captures Galilei's journey from his initial work with projectiles to his groundbreaking examination of the cosmos.

The book also illustrates the significant backlash Galilei faced for his bold ideas and depicts the dramatic trial he endured under the Inquisition.
