In 16th-century Italy, a young boy asked his grandmother to show him his mother, who had passed away. One day, the grandmother took him outside and said, "Your mother is now among the countless stars in the sky. You will understand this as you grow." The boy became interested in stars, and as he grew, he built a telescope to study the stars and planets. Eventually, he became known as the famous astronomer, Galileo.
