Hey #earlymodern #skystorians! If you are not normally UK-based but are planning to be in the UK in the coming academic year: let us know!

UK-based people might like to invite you to give a paper, cover a lecture, grab coffee, meet with students, etc.

Question for any early modernists/historians of #astronomy in the audience: Would you be willing to help a grad student interpret this diagram from Christoph Scheiner's Rosa Ursina? What are we looking at here?
