ATLAS CAELESTIS Containing the Systems and Theoryes of the Planets the Constellations of the starrs and other Phenomina's of the Heavens with Necessary tables relating thereto Collected By John Seller A brief Description of the several Systems Theories Schemes and Tables contained in this Book Also a Discourse of the Celestial Bodies the Sun and Moon and the rest of the Planets Fiery-Meteors Blazing-Stars and other Phenomena's in the Heavens CHAP. I. A Description of the System of Ptolomy THis Systeme of the Heavens and the Motions of the Planets is of greater antiquity than the other Palanetary Systems either by Copernicus or Tycho and is supposed by some to be more consentaneous to the Letter of the Scripture then the rest It was first invented by one Clandius Ptolomeus a Native of Pelusium in his time the Prince of Astronomers Astrologers and Geographers who lived Anno Christi 135 and wrote several Books on these Subjects This Systeme supposeth the Earth to be fixed as the Center of the World and that all the Celestial-Bodies move round the same both in their Diurnal and Annual Revolutions The World is supposed to be divided principally in two parts Elemental and Celestial The Elemental admits of four divisions The first is the Earth The second is the Water both which makes one intire Body or Globe whereon we dwell The third is the Air encompassing the Earth And the fourth is the Fire which according to the opinion of ancient Philosophers is contained in that space between the Air and the Sphere of the Moon These four Elements are subject to a continual change and alteration of one into another according to the Proverb Omnia sublunaria mutabilia The Celestial part is that which is without these elementary parts void of all changes and is by the ancient Astronomers divided into ten Parts or Heavens The first of which next to the Region of Fire is the Heaven or Orb of the Moon The second of Mercury The third of Venus The fourth of the Sun The fifth of Mars The sixth of Jupiter The seventh of Saturn The eighth of the Fixed-Stars The ninth is called the Cristalline-Heaven The tenth the Primum Mobile Hypothesis Ptolomaica The magnitude of these Heavens is known by their Courses which those great Bodies within them makes round the Poles of the Zodiack The Moon runneth through the Heavens by her natural course from West to East in 27 Days and 8 Hours Mercury in 88 Days Venus in 225 Days And the Sun in a Year or 365 Days and 6 Hours Mars in two Years Jupiter in 12 Years Saturn in 30 Years The eighth Heaven perfects its course according to the affirmation of Tycho Brahe in 25400 Years These Heavens are turned round about upon the Axis of the World by the tenth Heaven which is the Primum Mobile or first Mover by which motion is caused Day and Night and the dayly rising and setting of the Heavenly Lights Of the Copernican System THis System was contrived by one Nicholas Copernicus a Native of Thorne in Prussia a Cannon of the Church of Frawenburgh the Cathedral of Wamerlandt Scholar to Dominicus Maria of Ferrara to whom he was Assistant in making his Astronomical Observations at Bologna and Professor of the Mathematicks at Rome and had the happiness to frame this Hypothesis which hath the general approbation of the most Learned Astronomers and Mathematicians in Christendom He lived about the Year Anno Christi 1536 whose System and Hypothesis is thus framed 1. That the Sun is placed in the midst of the World in or about the Center of the Sphere of the fixed Stars and hath no Circular motion but Central only 2. The Primary Planets are each of them in their proper Systems moved about the Sun and do accomplish their Periodical Revolutions most exactly in their determinate and appointed times 3. That the Earth is one of the Planets and with her Annual motion about the Sun describeth her Orb in the middle between the Orbs of Mars and Venus 4. That the secundary Planets are ordinarily moed about the primary Planets respecting their Bodies for their common Nodes or Centers 5. That the secundary Planet the Moon is moved about the Earth as her Center where by reason of the Annual motion of the Earth she hath not only relation to the Earth but by consequence to the Sun as the other Planets have 6. That as the primary Planet the Earth is invironed with the Sphere of the Moon so are some if not all the other primary Planets who have in like manner their Moons or Concomitants encompassing them As Jupiter his Satellities or Circum-Jovials and Saturn his Ring With some other Stars lately observed by some of our vigilant and accurate Astronomers both in England and elsewhere Hypothesis Copernic … Schema corporis SOLARIS pr●uta PP Kircher● et Sch … … o Roma Anno 1635 observatum Polus Borea … SPATIUM ETHEREUM Solaris Aequator SPATIUM ETHEREUM Polus Aus … s 〈…〉 Glob● 〈◊〉 Aequator Solaris B. ● C.
