Sidereus Nuncius, Or The Sidereal Messenger
Author: Galileo GalileiPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226279030
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
"Sidereus Nuncius (usually Sidereal Messenger, also Starry Messenger or Sidereal Message) is a short astronomical treatise (or pamphlet) published in New Latin by Galileo Galilei in March 1610. It was the first published scientific work based on observations made through a telescope, and it contains the results of Galileo's early observations of the imperfect and mountainous Moon, the hundreds of stars that were unable to be seen in either the Milky Way or certain constellations with the naked eye, and the Medicean Stars that appeared to be circling Jupiter.[1] The Latin word nuncius was typically used during this time period to denote messenger; however, albeit less frequently, it was also interpreted as message. While the title Sidereus Nuncius is usually translated into English as Sidereal Messenger, many of Galileo's early drafts of the book and later related writings indicate that the intended purpose of the book was "simply to report the news about recent developments in astronomy, not to pass himself off solemnly as an ambassador from heaven."[2] Therefore, the correct English translation of the title is Sidereal Message (or often, Starry Message)."--Wikiped, Nov/2014.

Book Description
We admire the beautiful bright stars in the dark night up in the sky while we are doing so many wishes; also, we are putting so many connections of our activities with stars and moon, so to write about stars is interesting. With so many interesting information by Astrology awakened my curiosity, I decided to write this fiction book in honor of the beautiful and different big groups of stars that are in the constellation. Stars are shining by thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. This fusion in its core is releasing energy that traverses in interior of the star and that radiates into outer space. This lay of hydrogen into helium gives some stars different, beautiful colors, like red nebula, blue stars, or purple stars too. Their shining is bright. Because the stars have so much mysteries and different stories connected with religious and galactic navigation, since in older time, and people all around the planet connect the stars and the moon to so many activities and their wishes too, it inspired me to write about stars.
