EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Folio 44-45 of the renowned book "Astronomia nova Aitiologetos" by Johannes Kepler. Created in the 17th century by an unknown German artist, this engraving is housed at The University of St. Andrews in Scotland, UK. The Astronomia nova, published in 1609, represents a monumental achievement in the field of astronomy. It documents Johannes Kepler's meticulous ten-year-long study on the motion of Mars and presents his groundbreaking findings to the world. The full title of this Latin masterpiece reveals its comprehensive nature: "Astronomia Nova I IIaIIsIoIsI" I--IaIsI£ seu physica coelestis, tradita commentariis de motibus stellae Martis ex observationibus G. V. Tychonis Brahe". Kepler's work was greatly influenced by Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), whose observations formed a crucial basis for his research. Gotthard Voegelin (flourished between 1600-1609) served as the printer for this significant scientific text. Within these pages lie profound insights into planetary motion and celestial mechanics that revolutionized our understanding of the universe. This image captures not only a piece of history but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how science has continuously pushed boundaries throughout time, forever expanding our
