Francesco Fontana (1580–) was an Italian lawyer (University of Naples ) and an astronomer. He created woodcuts showing the Moon and the planets as he saw them through a self-constructed telescope. In 1646 he published most of them in the book ''Novae coelestium terrestriumq() rerum observationes, et fortasse hactenus non vulgatae.'' In 1645, he claimed to have observed a satellite of Venus (Paul Stroobant demonstrated in 1887 that all similar observations were not related to a putative satellite of Venus). The lunar crater Fontana and the crater Fontana on Mars are named in his honor. Note: See Donato Creti for paintings of planets from the next century. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francesco Fontana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
