I found that four hundred years ago, Galileo turned a telescope toward the night sky and launched the field of astronomy. To celebrate this anniversary, 2009 has been declared the International Year of Astronomy (IYA).
I learned Galileo did not invent the telescope. It was already in use to watch the sea on ships. But he was the first person to look at the sky with it.
I decided to order 2 of the Galileoscope™ it is a high-quality, low-cost telescope kit developed for the International Year of Astronomy 2009 orders for the Galileoscope are now being taken at www.galileoscope.org, and delivery of telescope kits will commence in late Apr.
I thought this would be a fun thing to do with the Grandkids and maybe hubby.
The new chicks have names now. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Breakfast is flying lunch is half way up and dinner is in the oven.

My youngest son has always loved astronomy. Everytime something special is going on in the sky, Jeff is outside at his home---looking through his telescope.
