EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Sun / Carbon Burning / Kirch," is a historical representation of the sun conceived as a mass of burning carbon, dating back to 1635. The print, which is part of the vast collection held by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the scientific understanding of our sun during the early modern period. The sun, a celestial body that has long fascinated humanity, was then believed to be composed primarily of various elements, including carbon. This misconception can be attributed to the limited scientific knowledge and technological capabilities of the time. The German astronomer and mathematician, Johannes Hevelius, is credited with the creation of this intriguing representation, which was produced by the renowned engraver, Michael Florent van Langren. The image depicts the sun as a fiery orb, with radiating carbon fibers emanating from its core. The sun's surface is textured with intricate patterns, suggesting the turbulent nature of the solar plasma. The overall effect is one of awe-inspiring beauty and scientific curiosity. Despite the inaccuracies in our understanding of the sun's composition during this era, this print serves as an essential reminder of the human desire to explore the mysteries of the universe. It also highlights the importance of scientific inquiry and the role of art in conveying complex ideas. Today, we know that the sun is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other elements, including carbon. However, this historical representation of the sun as a burning mass of carbon serves as a testament to the evolving nature of scientific knowledge and the enduring allure of the sun as a subject of fascination and study.
