A new version of Galileo’s Telescope, implemented with a section devoted to “The telescope, measurement of time and longitude”, is displayed at the Beijing Planetarium from October 15, 2008 to January 10, 2009.
The Beijing exhibition has been made possible thanks to the financial support of the Ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca (MIUR), the joint efforts of the Beijing Association for Science and Technology (BAST) and the Beijing Planetarium as well as the generous sponsorship of Officine Panerai.
Galileo’s Telescope is a scientific project of the Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza (IMSS).
The exhibition will be open in Florence as well until January 31, 2009 at the Museo di Storia della Scienza.
