the english were already using telescopes long before galileo to watch ships on the channel – they were an official secret. no doubt some observers were looking up during their down times.

i’ve read it somewhere years ago. it should be out there if you search for it.

i had an amusing instance recently where i’ve mentioned ive seen something and the other person didn;t believe me – when searching again the article had DISAPPEARED from the net. of course – if the net says it doesn’t exist – it never existed. a day later i suddenly realised i had take a shot of the page and sent it to someone for a laugh , there it was – reality as it was a week ago, before it disappeared forever.
