Ada uses a time-traveling wardrobe to visit Galileo in Padua, 1610. She helps him use a powerful telescope on a tower, sees mountains on the Moon, and watches four moons circle Jupiter. By day they drop two balls and learn about evidence. Ada returns home, writing: Look, measure, and test. Evidence beats guessing.
