Beautiful super high resolution (13184 × 10946) 13”x16” print of Andreas Cellarius’ Illustration of Tycho Brahe’s model of the Cosmos, as published in the incredible Harmonia Macrocosmica.

In the late 1500s, the Astronomer Tycho Brahe spent over 20 years collecting the largest and most accurate astronomical dataset captured to date. As Tycho lay dying in 1601, he begged his assistant Johannes Kepler to not let him die in vein. Tycho believed that the motions of mars and the the other planets were a result of his own model of the solar system, where the sun orbits around the stationary earth, and the planet orbits the sun - but he had run out of time to prove it.

This incredibly detailed illustration by Andreas Cellarius was published in 1660 in Harmonia Macrocosmica often described as the most beautiful celestial atlas ever published. This poster is beautifully printed on high quality semigloss photo paper, fits nicely into a standard 13”x16” frame (example) - frame not included.
