Just finished this great book that dives into the details of Galileo's discoveries, and it was exactly what I was looking for. It's not a biography of his entire life, but rather a focused look at a particular period when he made his groundbreaking observations of the heavens and earth.
The author, with a background in cosmology, really understands the significance of Galileo's work and explains it in a way that makes the implications clear. There's a lot of effort put into documenting how people interacted with Galileo, which helps to paint a vivid picture of the context in which he was working.
Although at times the narrative gets a bit crowded with characters, which can overshadow the main events, it's still a great read for anyone interested in learning about Galileo's work and its impact on modern science
