Geocentric solar system of Clavius

Clavius cosmology. Diagram showing the layout of the universe as propounded by Christopher Clavius (1538-1612), the German astronomer. This is a staunchly geocentric universe. At the centre is Earth, around which orbit the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Beyond these are the vault of the fixed stars. This woodcut illustration comes from Disquisitiones mathematicae by Christoph Scheiner, published at Ingolstadt in 1614

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the geocentric solar system of Clavius, a cosmological model proposed by Christopher Clavius, a renowned German astronomer from the 16th century. The intricate diagram depicts a staunchly geocentric universe, with Earth positioned at its center. Orbiting around our planet are celestial bodies such as the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The woodcut illustration featured in this print is taken from Disquisitiones mathematicae by Christoph Scheiner and was published in Ingolstadt in 1614. Its monochrome aesthetic adds an air of elegance to this historic representation of our understanding of the cosmos during that era. Beyond these planetary orbits lies the vault of fixed stars—a concept deeply ingrained in ancient astronomical beliefs. This image offers us a glimpse into how astronomers perceived and visualized our place within the vast expanse of space centuries ago. Todd-White Art Photography has masterfully captured this significant piece of scientific history through their lens. With its vertical composition and white background contrasting against dark lines and shapes, this photograph evokes a sense of awe-inspiring wonder about humanity's quest for knowledge about our place in the universe.
