Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
Drawings of the Moon, November-December 1609
Ils ne se font pas chier, un © sur une œuvre de 1611
Thomas Harriot (1560-1621)
Three drawings of the Moon, 1609-1611
Petworth, The Egremont Collection
Four months before Galileo pointed his telescope at the Moon, Harriot used a telescope with a magnifying power of 6x in August 1609 to conduct the first recorded observations of the Earth’s satellite (1st drawing). He resumed his observations after Galileo’s discoveries (2nd and 3rd drawings), going on to produce the first map of the Moon in 1611.
Michel Florent van Langren (1600-1675)
Plenilunii Lumina Austriaca Philippica, 1645
Edinburgh, Crawford Library
This is the oldest map of the Moon showing the names proposed by the author for identifying the most prominent locations on the Earth’s satellite. It marked the beginning of scientific selenography, sparking the debate on the naming of the Moon’s features.
Giovanni Battista Riccioli S.J. (1598-1671)
Almagestum novum, Bologna, 1651
Florence, Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza, MED 2165, plates I and VI, p. 204
This volume contains two lunar maps drawn by Francesco Maria Grimaldi S.J. (1613-1663). The first (on the left) provides an overview of the surface of the Moon and its phases. The second highlights the areas affected by the libration and includes the nomenclature conceived by Riccioli. He gave the names of 248 ancient and contemporary astronomers to as many locations on the Moon.
Giandomenico Cassini (1625-1712)
Original drawings of the Moon, 1671-1679
Paris, Observatoire de Paris, inv. Ms D-VI-40, f. 52
These drawings are part of the great atlas of the Moon (ca. 60 drawings) produced in collaboration with two artists, Sébastien Leclerc and Jean Patigny. Cassini used black pencil to record on most of the maps the date, time and circumstances in which he made his observations.
Giandomenico Cassini (1625-1712)
Large map of the Moon, 1679
Paris, Observatoire de Paris, inv. I.1576
This extraordinary document is based on an extensive set of drawings of the Moon’s morphology. The map, which Cassini produced using telescopes built by Giuseppe Campani, marks a crucial stage in the process of definition of the Moon’s true face.
