EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from the 17th century book "Astronomia nova Aitiologetos" by Johannes Kepler. The University of St. Andrews in Scotland is home to this remarkable piece, which holds immense historical and scientific significance. Kepler's "Astronomia nova" was published in 1609 and documents his extensive research on the motion of Mars over a decade-long period. With its full title translating to "New Astronomy I IIaIIsIoIsI" this groundbreaking work revolutionized our understanding of celestial bodies. The intricate engraving captures the essence of Kepler's meticulous observations and calculations, offering a glimpse into the world of early astronomy. Its pages are filled with text that delves into the physics and movements of planets, particularly focusing on Mars. The collaboration between Kepler and renowned astronomer Tycho Brahe is also highlighted here, as their combined efforts contributed greatly to our knowledge of planetary motion during this era. Preserved within the eUniversity of St. Andrews Library, this image transports us back in time to witness the birth of modern astronomy. It serves as a reminder that scientific progress relies on relentless curiosity and dedication to unraveling nature's mysteries. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and scientific importance.
