I animated Galileo's Sunspot drawings from 1612 that revolutionized Science

"I have demonstrated that the Sunspots are neither Stars nor permanent materials, and that they are not located at a distance from the Sun but are produced and dissolved upon it in a manner not unlike that of clouds and vapors on the Earth."

-Galileo Galilei, Istoria e dimostrazioni intorno alle macchie solari e loro accidenti, Rome: Appresso Giacomo Mascardi, 1613
