Happy Io Discovery Day!

...and only this evening I have seen Jupiter accompanied by three fixed stars, totally invisible by their smallness... The planets are seen very rotund, like little full moons, and of a roundness bounded and without rays. - Galileo Galileo, January 7, 1610

    Congratulations, Galileo! In your honor, I am shattering a whole set of Ptolemaic crystal spheres.
