Look at the sky, that is exactly what I wanted to Galileo when he was playing with lenses in his small laboratory.
designed and built the first telescope and began to explore the sky: Moon, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and its moons ...
When Saturn went to his rudimentary telescope, he was surprised meet with an elongated shape rather than spherical.
Galileo described it as a head with ears.
Why we face to the moon? And ears to Saturn? Why the need to anthropomorphize everything? Good old Galileo
thought it might be two moons very close to the planet. In his mind there was no planets with rings.
Every scientist has a good deal of an artist, but even for an artist of limitless imagination would have been impossible to conceive something as amazing as the rings of Saturn.
