We begin with the story of one of the great upheavals in human history - how we came to understand that our planet was not at the centre of everything in the cosmos, but just one of billions of bodies in a vast and expanding universe.

Discover the critical role of medieval astrologers in changing our view of the heavens, and the surprising connections to the upheavals of the Renaissance, the growth of coffee shops and Californian oil and railway barons.

We see how important the practical skills of craftsmen have been to this story and find out how Galileo made his telescope to peer at the heavens and by doing so helped change our view of the universe forever.
