DESCRIPTION:Registration Required\n\nBehold the grand\, glittering blunder 
 of Galileo Galilei! In a stroke of audacious theater\, he aimed to use the
  rhythmic heaving of the oceans as the ultimate proof that the Earth whirl
 s around the Sun. His proof crumbled—the Moon\, not the Earth's spin\, i
 s the true solution. Yet while he lost the battle for the Copernican syste
 m\, but he won the war for the waves\, shattering the ancient idea of a st
 atic universe in the process!\n\nFor other Origins of Astronomy Week event
