Exhibition of 400 year-old moon drawings
Drawings of the Moon made 400 years ago can be seen at London's Science Museum as part of a new exhibition on the history of astronomy.
The exhibition spans many cultures from the 10th to 21st centuries and looks at the various ways humankind has studied the heavens.
Early telescopes developed by Galileo and Newton are featured, along with modern space telescopes.
Also on display for the first time is a section of the radio telescope which radio astronomer Jocelyn Bell used to discover pulsars - small, fast-rotating stars - in the 1960s.
