They gave the seas names of moods and weather conditions, and the craters names of astronomers and philosophers. Riccioli rejected Copernicus's theory, and yet he dedicated a clearly visible crater to him, and said he had put all the Copernicans in troubled waters: Copernicus and Keplerus are in the Oceanus Procellarum, the Ocean of Storms, with Ricciolus and Grimaldus not far away, on the edge. His naming system is the one that is still used today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe left disc, on the other hand, follows Johannes Hevelius, who in 1647, in Danzig, had baptized the Moon with the geography of the Earth: there you can find a Sicily with Etna and a Mare Mediterraneum. About a dozen of his names survive, including the Apennines. The \"Tabula Selenographica\" is by Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr, plate 11 of his \u003cem\u003eAtlas Coelestis\u003c\/em\u003e (Nuremberg, 1742). At the top right, Diana, with the crescent moon among her curls and her face full of freckles, has the motto \"Sit maculosa licet, tamen est formosa Diana\" around her: she may have spots, but she is beautiful. This hand-colored copy is from the David Rumsey Map Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the room of someone who dreams of space, or in the study of someone who in 1969 was in front of the television, it is a gift that is understood at first glance.
