The Amazing Discoveries of Galileo Galileo
Mike Francis portrays Galileo using over thirty years of professional acting experience on stage, film, and television. A Physical Science and Physics teacher and formerly a lecturer for ten years at the Charles Hayden Planetarium at Boston's Museum of Science, Mr. Francis combines the science of astronomy with the dramatic skills of an actor.
Francis’ The Starry Messenger is a dramatic fun filled adaptation of Galileo's short treatise Siderius Nuncius. Dressed in 17th century costume, Galileo presents on his most recent discoveries made using his newly devised spyglass. As he describes those discoveries, Galileo's new method of observation and measurement of nature become apparent. Join us for this innovative and entertaining presentation of math and science.
