Grafico che descrive i moti planetari secondo le teorie eliocentriche del sistema solare di Copernico e Keplero: a differenza di Copernico, che credeva che i pianeti avessero orbite circolari, Keplero teorizzò che i pianeti avessero orbite ellittiche e che esistesse una forte relazione tra geometria e cosmologia. Le note che circondano i diagrammi spiegano le teorie di Keplero, così come quelle di Ismael Bullialdus, Seth Ward e Nicolaus Mercator (Kauffman).
