Historical map of the Moon’s orbit around the Earth, created by Andreas Cellarius. It is a map from "A Celestial Atlas, or The Harmony of the Universe", published by Joannes Janssonius, Amsterdam, 1660-61.
The map shows the Earth at the centre, with the orbits of the Moon around it. The zodiac is also depicted. Around the outside of the map are allegorical figures.
Andreas Cellarius (Neuhausen, c. 1596 – Hoorn, 1665) was a German-Dutch cartographer, best known for his Harmonia Macrocosmica of 1660, a star atlas published by Jan Janssonius in Amsterdam.
