| Description |
Giuseppe Biancani (1566-1625), an Italian Jesuit astronomer, mathematician, and selenographer, wrote his Sphaera mundi to present Tycho Brahe's cosmology as an alternative to Ptolemy without adopting the condemned views of Copernicus and Galileo. It includes a summary of the discoveries made with the telescope by Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galileo, Copernicus, and others. It also included studies on sundials and on the natural phenomenon of the echo, and also included a diagram of the Moon |
