I have checked the orginal source site at NASA and indeed their text is badly incorrect. A simple glance will convince any one that the image does *not* depict any sort of page from a printed page as the NASA text claims.

I have actually held the original in my hands at the University of Michigan. I found out that they held it from an article in Scientific American in the late seventies. Unfortunately Scientific American does not have any article prior to 1992 on line. I will find the article and give a proper reference in a couple of days. (By January 12, 2007)

The original text accompanying this image was from the NASA web page whose URL is still on the image page.

Source incorrect

[edit]

The links under Source are incorrect. At the University of Michigan it should be http://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-library/galileo-manuscript

Thanks for providing the updated link, anon! The description page has been updated accordingly. Huntster (t @ c) 10:52, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
