From a message just posted to the lunar-observing mailing list:
Galileo's Crescent Moon
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lunar-observing/message/12885
On Saturday evening, 29 July, observers in Europe will have an
opportunity to see the Moon under conditions very similar to those
thought by some to have prevailed when Galileo made his famous first
(?) telescopic observation of the Moon from Padua, Italy.
