Galileo announces his Discoveries in Enigmas.?Discovers the Crescent of Venus; the Ring of Saturn; the Spots on the Sun.?Similar Observations made in England by Harriot.?Claims of Fabricius and Scheiner to the Discovery of the Solar Spots.?Galileo's Letters toVelser on the Claims of Scheiner.?His Residence at the Villa of Salviati.? Composes his Work on Floating Bodies, which involve him in new Controversies. The great success which attended the first tele- scopic observations of Galileo induced him to apply his best instruments to the other planets of our system. The attempts which had been made to deprive him of the honour of some of his discover- ies, combined, probably, with a desire to repeat his observations with better telescopes, led him to announce his discoveries under the veil of an enigma, and to invite astronomers to declare, within a given time, if they had observed any new phenomena in the heavens. Before the close of 1610 Galileo excited the curiosity of astronomers by the publication of his first enigma. Kepler and others tried in vain to decipher it; but, in consequence of the Emperor Rodolph requesting a solution of the puzzle, Galileo sent him the following clew: Altissimam planetam tergeminam observavi. I have observed that the most remote planet is triple. In explaining more fully the nature of his observation, Galileo remarked that Saturn was not a single star, but three together, nearly touching one another. He described them as having no relative motion, and as having the form of three o's, namely, oOo, the central one being larger than those on each side of it.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Although in these days, when Science constitutes the power and wealth of nations, and encircles the domestic hearth with its most substantial comforts, there is no risk of its votaries being either persecuted or neglected, yet the countenance of those to whom Providence has given rank and station will ever be one of the most powerful incitements to scientific enterprise, as well as one of its most legitimate rewards. Next to the satisfaction of cultivating Science, and thus laying up the only earthly treasure which we can carry along with us into a better state, is that of having encouraged and assisted others in the same beneficent labors. Sir David Brewster
