This book brings together two fundamental works of the scientific revolution of the 17th century: 'Sidereal Gazette' by Galileo Galilei and 'Conversation with the Sidereal Messenger' by Johannes Kepler. In 'Sidereal Gazette', Galileo presents his revolutionary astronomical observations made with the telescope, which confirmed Copernicus' theories. Kepler responds to Galileo with 'Conversation with the Sidereal Messenger', analyzing the optical and philosophical implications of these discoveries. This edition, prologued, annotated and translated by Carlos Solís, explores the divergences and coincidences between these two great revolutionaries of classical knowledge, forever uniting mathematics and physics.
Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei, commonly referred to as Galileo Galilei, was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath. He was born in the city of Pisa, then part of the Duchy of Florence. Galileo has been called the father of observational astronomy, modern-era classical physics, the scientific method, and modern science.
