'-' behind him not merely a monument of achievement, but a legend-the legend of his assertion of his theory after he had recanted it before the Inquisition. Apart altogether from this story, Galileo, who lived from 1564 to 1642, is one of the very greatest names in the roll of those who digged the foundations of modern astronomy.
