Kaart met voorspelling van de banen van Mars, Jupiter en Saturnus volgens Brahe's stelsel 1702 - 1742

This 18th-century scientific illustration from the Rijksmuseum depicts the orbits of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, according to the Tychonic system. The diagram, created by an anonymous artist between 1702 and 1742, uses intricate geometric patterns and calculations to illustrate the planetary motions. The central sun is surrounded by the orbits of the three planets, each represented by a unique, complex curve. The artwork exemplifies the scientific and artistic interest in celestial mapping during this era, offering a detailed visualization of the cosmos based on Tycho Brahe's influential astronomical model.
