MÅNEN I OBSERVATORIEMUSEET

The Månen exhibit includes a superb collection of rare manuscripts. Petrus Apianus’ Astronicum Caereum published in Austria in 1540 is a very unusual and colorful manuscript. The book contains a series of colorful paper revolving wheels that demonstrate and explain the movements of the heavenly bodies and eclipses of the sun and the moon.
