In this image, the movable metal type, or printing press, is shown. This idea was very popular, more people could learn to read and write. Books and documents were now produced quicker and easier. Also shown in this picture is the inventer, Johannes Gutenberg, looking at one of the documents that he printed. The first book that he printed was the Bible, which was now transformed into different languages. || In this photograph you see Galileo's telescope. Though not as powerful and advanced as todays telescope, he discovered many things with it. He published his findings in a book called, "Sidereus Nuncius (The Sidereal Messenger)" explaining why Copernicus's theory was true and what he discovered. He proved that the moon was not smooth, Jupiter has 4 moons, and Earth is orbited by a natural satellite. When he began demonstrating his telescope he was excepted by the pope and papal court, but was said to oppose the Bible. ||  ||   ||
