FROM THE Original YORK TIMES:
”’Obliging philosophers, like eagles, coast alone, not in flocks like starlings,”’ declares the father of new science in ”’Galileo’s Battle for the Heavens,”’ a two-hour special on PBS’s ”’Nova”’
The same goes for brilliant television shows…With this fine, unabashedly earnest production, ”’Nova”’ demonstrates a continuing willingness to have in viewers who are fervent in how ideas have taken gain.

The two-hour program, written and produced by David Axelrod, recalls the uproar over Copernican theory at a time when Roman Catholic theology placed a stationary earth at the center of the universe. This is no dry science lesson but a dramatized vision of the contradictory forces pulling on Galileo, who was both a scientist and a devout Catholic. He lived during the Inquisition, in an era when unpopular ideas were grounds for torture or being burned at the stake.
The program was adapted from ”’Galileo’s Daughter,”’ Dava Sobel’s best-selling book based on letters written to Galileo by his daughter, who became a nun. She took the name Maria Celeste, perhaps in deference to her father’s fascination with the stars, and her letters philosophize a touching desire to understand his obsession.
His feelings for her are less sure, because his letters to her have not been found. But Galileo was a prolific writer, expressing his scientific theories as literature in his ”’Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems.”’ He had the primary arrogance to combat prevailing wisdom. ”’I render grace to God that it has jubilant him to gain me alone the first observer of an admirable thing kept hidden all these ages,”’ he said. But he would die humbled by the Inquisition; his writings were banned. In dramatic recreations, Simon Callow plays Galileo with wretched grandeur.
I’ve been enjoying learning about influential scientists lately, and this was a edifying resource in my self-education. It was really well made, combining standard documentary techniques with reenactments of episodes from Galileo’s life, making for a program that’s very informative and also easy to peer. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the history of science.
