Lesson 32-3     Galileo reborn

But can we blamethose who looked and failed to see what Galileo saw, if we remember that to usea telescope at the limit of its powers calls for long experience and intimatefamiliarity with one's instrument? Was the philosopher who refused to lookthrough Galileo's telescope more culpable than those who alleged that thespiral nebulae observed with Lord Rosse's great telescope in theeighteen-forties were scratches left by the grinder? We can perhaps forgivethose who said the moons of Jupiter were produced by Galileo's spyglass if werecall that in his day, as for centuries before, curved glass was the popularcontrivance for producing not truth but illusion, untruth; and if a singlecurved glass would distort nature, how much more would a pair of them?
