1 When I Was a Boy 8 Target          
  An old Galileo -- blind, ailing and under house arrest -- recalls his beginnings and his three remaining sources of solace: his work, his children and his music.   The acceptance and promotion of Copernican cosmology makes many enemies for a man largely incapable of backing down   Music & Lyrics by Hannes Kvaran except

2 A Wrangler 9 The Letter To Christina          
  He secures his first teaching post at the University of Pisa, where he had been a student. His colleagues, once his teachers, are unimpressed.   Galileo uses a letter to the archduchess Christina to explain his views on the proper domains of religion and science.          
                 
3 Lecture 10 Save the Appearance          
  Upon losing his first job, Galileo secures a second at the University of Padua in the Republic of Venice, where he studies and presents the laws of motion.   Cardinal Belarmine presents the church's position: teach the heliocentric view as a computational device, and not as the truth, and we will have no problem.          
                 
4 Stars Out Tonight 11 Something Must Be Done          
  In Venice, Galileo invents his own telescope and turns it to the skies.   Aristotelian philosophers, seeing the new book, "A Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems," an attack on their domain, convince Pope Urban that the book is dangerous.          
                 
5 The Brightest Star 12 Still It Moves          
  His book "Starry Messenger," detailing his celestial observations makes Galileo famous. In Rome he is inducted into the Society of the Lynxes, a group of pro-science radicals who hail him as their torch-bearer.   Forced to publicly recant his beliefs, Galileo swings from despair to triumph.          
                 
6 Passion 13 When I Was A Boy          
  They all recognize that promoting science creates serious risks.   A summation of a life.
