Dr. Stephen P. Maran came to Gardner-Webb Thursday to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Galileo perfecting, then using, the telescope to revolutionize astronomy and science in general.
Galileo Galilei was born in 1564 and in his lifetime made significant contributions not only in astronomy, but also physics and mathematics.
