Didn’t they think in those days that your eyes sent beams out to touch whatever they were looking at?
I wonder if he thought his eyes were sending beams out into space.

I don’t see how that’s relevant here.

If his eyes were sending outrays, they did go out into space.
But that’s not actually how it works.
I think it is just a fun way of thinking about it.
In reality, things from space were travelling to earth to interact with Galileo’s retina.
