      1. Neither Galileo nor Copernicus was the first human to put the sun at the center of the solar system. The Cosmos reboot was such a missed opportunity to decolonize the history of science for mainstream viewers. @neiltyson @archeohistories/1559938245013962752

      P.S. Primary school Carwil was obsessed with Copernicus, and wants today's primary schoolers to know about the Kerala school of mathematics and medieval Arab and Muslim astronomers.

    P.S. 2: Galileo's Sidereal Messenger is a lovely book for all ages. I totally recommend it. archive.org/details/siderealmessenge80gali However, this page from al-Buruni is a way cooler example of data visualization than the Galileo book celebrated by Edward Tufte. edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00004p
