What was the first telescope image for the masses ? (no pun intended)
In the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, in Rome, there is a fresco of the Virgin Mary standing on a pock-marked moon as seen through Galileo's telescope and painted by Lodovico Cigoli in 1611.
Cigoli. a friend of Galileo, was the first to paint a telescope-sighted moon in the visual arts....the first telescope-imaged APOD ( Astronomy Painting Of the Day).
