The inventions, improvements, creations and ever changing scientific instruments of Galileo's 16th and 17th century era sparked a keen interest in 'discovery' that continues to spark advances in technology today. The vowels have been left in place...your challenge is to use the correct consonants to rebuild these scientific instruments from Galileo's Day Starting Letter Pile: B B B B C C C C C C D D D F G G G H H J L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L M M M M M M N N N N N N P P P P P P P P R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R S S S S S S S S S S S S T T T T T T T T T V V  Remaining Letter Pile: = 1. A---O-A-E = 2. -A-O-E-E- = 3. -O--A-- = 4. -E-E--IA- --O-E = 5. -O-I-A-E An instrument used for determining the positions of the satellites that surround the planet Jupiter  = 6. -U--E-- -E-E- An instrument for military (and civil) use that measures the inclinations of planes = 7. O--A-- = 8. O--E-Y = 9. --O-O--IO-A- -O--A-- = 10. -Y-O-E-E- = 11. -O--I-- -U-E = 12. --I-E -U-E = 13. A--I--A-Y ---E-E = 14. -U--IA- = 15. -E-E--O-E = 16. --E--O--O-E
