The eldest of Galileo’s children was his daughter Virginia, who took the name Suor Maria Celeste in the convent. With Maria Celeste, apparently his most gifted child, Galileo carried on a long correspondence, from which 124 of her letters survive. Author Dava Sobel translated the correspondence from Italian into English, weaving the letters and other historical accounts into the unique portrait Galileo’s Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith and Love. - John Matson talks to Dava Sobel @ Scientific American
