THE GREAT ASTRONOMER GALILEO

I went to see a storyteller at the Worcester Beeline festival. He told us all about the story of the astronomer Galileo who was the first person to discover that the Earth goes around the Sun and not the other way around. We also learned how the Moon travels around the Earth and how the shadow of the Earth makes us see the Moon differently during the month. It was fun pretending to be Galileo's students and to find out that he went to prison for making such amazing discoveries. Some people were scared by his ideas.
