Just getting governments to share air space more freely, which would allow planes to fly more direct routes and cut fuel consumption, has proven to be an ongoing headache...

They are the direct record of the budding astronomer, then 46, peering through his precious new telescope and sketching what he saw directly onto the page. "You can see that they were done quickly, but with incredible precision," says Bredekamp. Galileo's renderings revealed the moon's shadows as craters, hills and valleys. Identifying such...
