Letters on Sunspots (Istoria e Dimostrazioni intorno alle Macchie Solari) was a pamphlet written by Galileo Galilei in 1612 and published in Rome by the Accademia dei Lincei in 1613. In it, Galileo outlined his recent observation of dark spots on the face of the Sun. [ 1 ] His claims were significant in undermining the traditional Aristotelian ...
In his letter to Benedetto Castelli, Galileo argues that using the Bible as evidence against the Copernican system involves three key errors. Firstly, claiming that the Bible shows the Earth to be static and concluding that the Earth therefore does not move is arguing from a false premise; whether the Earth moves or not is a thing which must be demonstrated (or not) through scientific enquiry.
Galileo was born in Pisa (then part of the Duchy of Florence) on 15 February 1564, [20] the first of six children of Vincenzo Galilei, a leading lutenist, composer, and music theorist, and Giulia Ammannati, the daughter of a prominent merchant, who had married two years earlier in 1562, when he was 42, and she was 24.

He is also reported to have shown sunspots to astronomers in Rome, but we ...
[nb 2] In 1613, under the auspices of the Accademia dei Lincei, Galileo published Istoria e dimostrazioni intorno alle macchie solari e loro accidenti'' ("History and demonstration regarding sunspots and their behavior"), confirming that sunspots were present, disappearing and reforming, on the corruptible surface of the Sun, which with ...

Sunspots were probably first drawn by an English monk John of Worcester on 8 December 1128. There are records of observing sunspots from 28 BC, but that is the first known drawing of sunspots, almost 500 years before the telescope. His drawing seems to come around solar maximum.
