The Italian astronomer Galileo is credited with pointing the first telescope skyward almost 400 years ago. With this instrument he saw mountains and craters on the Moon. He realized that the Milky Way is composed of stars, and he discovered the four largest satellites of Jupiter. From these humble beginnings in 1609, people have been using telescopes for stargazing ever since.
