This morning I just heard of a piece of marvelous news from BBC radio: the Vatican is exhibiting Galileo's instruments and original documents! Is it because those priests finally find Prof. Langdon really anoyying?
Seriously, this exhibition is a great opportunity to see Galileo's works. As we know from history textbook, Galileo spent his later half life to argue with the Catholic Church. The Vatican placed Galileo under house arrest, and announced his thoughts were heretic. Today, the Vatican still preserves plenty of books and original documents of Galileo. All of them are precious historical records. To celebrate the International Year of Astronomy and the contributions of Galileo, the Vatican plans to give regards to their once old enemy.

Re-opening of this sketchbook
You can find this blog was stopped being updated for a long time since last year. Yes, you see, I am not a diligent writer and very easy to give up halfway. However, Dan ask us to build a blog as one of our assessments. So this dormant volcano begins to explode once again.
The blog will be part of my work in the MSc. Programme in Science, Communication and Society, which tutor is Dr. Dan Lloyd in the University of Kent. I hope it would be a faithful record of my study, trainning, and thinking in the programme. Anyone who interests in my work are welcomed to visit and give comments.
