We got to look at some spectacular books. I guess the
one that made the biggest impression on me was called
"The Starry Messenger" by Gallileo and had his
signature attached to a dedication to one of his
friends. For those who are not familiar with the
book, Gallileo outlines his discovery of the 4 moons
of Jupiter in this book. I got to hold this book in
my hand. It is a piece of history I got to hold for
just a moment. I was awestruck. It definitely was a
life changing experience.
