Galileo and 400 Years of Telescopic Astronomy - book launch talk - PART 2

A fascinating talk by one of the authors about the astronomy book Galileo and 400 Years of Telescopic Astronomy by Peter Grego and David Mannion.

Dr. Mannion gives an impassioned and absorbing account of the history of astronomy, scientific advances and how the use of the telescope changed our world - and indeed universal - view forever.

The talk was filmed in Waterstones, Canterbury at the book launch there. Our kind gratitude to Waterstones and all the staff who helped facilitate a wonderful evening.
