This collection of charts, taken from atlases produced by Johann Doppelmayr and Andreas Cellarius, show a progression of scientific thought on Earth’s place in the universe was. Each of the five charts can be used to understand one or more of the three major models of the universe in use during the late medieval/early modern period (the Ptolemaic, Copernican, and Tychonic models). Each model could, at one time, be accurately explained and accepted as the truth, and all three sought to help educate the general populace on how the Earth and other celestial bodies interacted with each other.
