Both By Dakota Edwards | The New Beginning
Galileo Galilei known for his discovery of The Law of the Pendulum, in Italy in 1609 Galilei built a three-power telescope after twenty-four hours of hard labor. Using Hans Lippershey’s, a Dutch spectacle-makers invention of the spyglass. After doing some re-thinking he reconstructed the telescope into a ten-power telescope. By constructing this telescope he was honored with proclamations.
Using his new invention he became a vey rich man. As he use his telescope to his way to have fun he explored the galaxy. His main focus was the Moon, Jupiter, and Saturn. He discovered that the Moons (in his opinion at the time) surface was rough with craters. He was doubted of this from a mathematician that was more in the crowds favor than Galilei, they were convinced that the Moon consisted of a covering of transparent crystal.
After a few months Galilei made yet another improvement tot his invention with a whopping thirty-power telescope. With this telescope he reached greater heights. By observing the planet Jupiter. He discovered that Jupiter had three moons. That he thought were small stars at first.
When he was sure and ready about his information gathered from his observations he published a book called The Starry Messenger.

Man
of the
week

Named after his father Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1693 in Woolsthorpe, England. Newton was a physicist and mathematician. He is one of the most famous scientists who ever lived. He got went to college at The University of Cambridge. Unfortunately Cambridge shut down due to the Great Plague. During this time he returned home, thus the Method of Fluxions was created. But what newton is best know for is his discovery of gravity after a visit from a Royal Society member he was encouraged to improve Robert Hooke's hypothesis on planetary motion Newton created his Principia. Which explains his three laws of motion. Newton made loads of cash off this Principia.. Towards the end of his life he was a famous man in Europe. Through all of the fame and fortune Newton never married or had many real friends. In March of 1727 he died at the age of eighty from a severe abdominal pain that caused him to pass out and to never wake up again.

Letter of the week

It’s been a long time since the Italian war begun. It seems that just yesterday when I was a young man that I had to leave home from Southern Italy. Speaking of that ever since I was a t that age I always believed that the French weren't a vey strong army. I mean anyone could eliminate a weak army such as the French. But that is why they are attacking us, for our land because our forces are also weak. Which is why we have the Spanish on our side. If we didn't have them this whole war would have ended twenty-eight years ago. Just a thought, how is Charles still funding the his army? Shouldn’t he be running low of money soon? When he does he is going to regret keeping the war alive for twenty-nine years. His men will abandon him as soon as they start to get a low salary. No land is worth taking if you're going to fight for it for twenty-nine years (so far).

A Spice of Advice

Dear Columnist,
I am a young man living in Florence Italy and have a serious situation on my hands, I'm hoping to get some helpful feedback from your mature and experienced mind. Ever since I was a little boy as long as I could remember I have had a serious problem with reading and writing. I have always wanted to become a famous writer and tell my stories to the world through the eyes of a young man with “Word Blindness”. Do you have any advice for me on how I can get started to achieve this life goal? I would appreciate it if you would get back to me as soon as possible.

Dear Leon Vici,
In all my many years in responding in the advice column, I still believe I'm not a scholar of a writer. Its just never satisfying enough to the reader, and I don't even have “Word Blindness”. You know Leon, there are lots of other ways to tell you stories other than literature. Art for instance, you could tell all the stories you had in your mind through a canvas of paint. Who knows, maybe you will become the famous artesian.
