Galileo
Premise/Synopsis: The
story will focus on the extraordinary man caught in
the
potentially fatal battle between hard science and religious
dogma. Credited
with developing the telescope, Galileo would discover
the four satellites of
Jupiter, observe a supernova, verify the phases of Venus
and discover
sunspots. His breakthroughs proved the Copernican system,
but for his pains,
the Catholic Church branded him a heretic. Galileo was
also a complicated
family man. He never married, but had a brief and intense
relationship with
Marina Gamba, a woman who bore him three children.
