This has been prompted by the launching of giant orbiting telescopes and space probes, the discovery of new planetary moons and heavenly bodies that orbit the Sun, and the demotion of Pluto as a planet. In one generation, our place in the heavens has been challenged, but this is not unusual. Throughout history, there have been a number of such world views. Initially, Earth was seen as the center of the universe and surrounded by orbiting planets and stars. Then the Sun became the center of the cosmos. Finally, there was no center, just a vast array of galaxies with individual stars, some with their own retinue of planets. This allowed our Solar System to be differentiated from deep-sky objects, but it didn’t lose its mystery as more and more remarkable bodies were discovered within its boundaries..This book tells the exciting story of how we have conceptualized and mapped our Solar System from antiquity to modern times. In addition to the complete text, this story is made more vivid by:.• 162 Solar System and planetary maps, diagrams, and images (over a third in color);.• direct quotes and figures from antiqua | | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | | 关键词 | Ancient models of the universe; Antiquarian star maps; Celestial maps; Conceptualization of the solar s | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-0896-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-0895-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-0896-3 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 |
