Framed Print of Ptolemys observatory, 2nd century AD
Ptolemys observatory in Alexandria, ancient Egypt. Coloured historical artwork of Claudius Ptolemy (AD c100-170), an Egyptian or Greek astronomer, geographer and mathematician, surrounded by astronomical equipment. Among the instruments seen are Ptolemys rulers (lower centre) and a copper disc (far right), which he used to demonstrate the law of reflection. At this observatory Ptolemy made the observations that supported Earth-centred models of solar and planetary motion. This view dominated astronomical thinking until the mid 16th century. Engraving from the 19th century book Vies des Savants Illustres. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © SHEILA TERRY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
