EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the Solar System as it was understood in the Victorian era with this 19th-century diagram from Mary Evans Picture Library. Dated around 1860, this historical print showcases the Solar System as known to astronomers during this period. The inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are depicted in greater detail due to their closer proximity to the Sun and more frequent observations. Beyond Mars, the asteroid belt is indicated, a region of space filled with countless small celestial bodies that were only recently discovered in the 1800s. The outermost known planet, Neptune, is shown in its then-known orbit, with its two newly discovered moons, Triton and Nereid. At the time, Neptune was the furthest known planet from the Sun, and the existence of other planets beyond it remained a mystery. It wasn't until 1930 that Pluto was located, and it would not be added to Solar System diagrams until much later. This intricately detailed diagram offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical understanding of our Solar System and the advancements in astronomical knowledge during the 19th century. With its meticulous labeling and precise illustration, it serves as a testament to the curiosity and scientific exploration that characterized the Victorian age.
