"American audiences love period pieces. America doesn't have a
lot of old things.
It's a new country so I think we're a little bit fascinated by that."

Wearable glasses
|
|
|
Salvino D'Armate is most often credited with the invention of the first wearable eye glasses around 1284.
Early Glasses
The first wearable glasses known to history appeared in Italy during the 13th century. Primitive glass-blown lenses were set into wooden or leather frames (or occasionally, frames made from animal horn) and then held before the face or perched on the nose.

What is evolution / Darwin and the Voyage of the B…

The basic idea of biological evolution is that populations and species of organisms change over time. Nowadays, when we think about evolution, we tend to associate this idea with one person: the British naturalist Charles Darwin.
From 1831 to 1836 he was part of a loyal research expedition aboard the ship HMS Beagle, which made stops in South America, Australia and the southern tip of Africa. At each stop, Darwin had the opportunity to study and catalog the plants and animals of the id quality.

Johannes Hevelius

Johannes Hevelius with one of his telescopes (from Selenographia, 1647, an elaborate map of the moon). Hevelius, who lived in Danzig, Poland, built one enormous telescope 150 feet long. he also published an important star atlas. (No drawing or engraving records Galielo's telescopes, and the two of his manufacture which survive are not as powerful as the one he was using in 1610/11. Thus we do not know what this own astronomical telescope looked lime)
