Galileo is often credited with being the first person to look through a telescope and make drawings of the celestial objects he observed. While the Italian indeed was a pioneer in this realm, he was not the first. That honor belongs to Thomas Harriot, an Englishman, who bought his first telescope shortly after its invention in the Netherlands and made a sketch of the moon as seen through it in July of 1609. Also a map of the Moon, ten times older than any other known, has been found carved into stone at one of Ireland's most ancient and mysterious Neolithic sites.
