Displaying different appearances of this enigmatic celestial body, Hevelius's work provides a glimpse into our early understanding of the solar system. The print showcases Saturn in various forms, ranging from its iconic rings that we now recognize, to what Galileo referred to as Saturn's triple nature, and even a simple disc.
