Abstract
In this essay I shall propose to those who study Nature great objects to be seen and admired. I define them great both for the excellence of the topic, the unprecedented novelty, and the instrument through which I could observe them. It is indeed important to add to the great number of fixed stars which we have been able to see with our own eyes, countless other stars, never seen before, and display them in a number which is more than ten times the number of the known stars.
