RE: https://mstdn.social/@lowqualityfacts/116528735893363590 Wait... LQF has finally stumped me. I had read that Galileo did indeed go blind from staring directly into the sun too often, as part of his astronomical observations. (not the heliocentric part) I remember reading it in the book A World Lit Only By Fire by William Manchester. Granted, that book has a *lot* of bull in it, and shouldn't be taken as good history. Maybe that was one of the bull facts in the book?
