Abstract:
Chegar à Lua foi um sonho realizado há cinco décadas, contudo, o que alguns não conhecem é que voltando alguns séculos o célebre astrônomo e matemático Johannes Kepler (1571– 1630) imaginou e descreveu um texto, que faz referência a uma viagem até ela, intitulado Das Somnium e que podemos traduzir literalmente como O Sonho. Com intuito de divulgar tal escrito, este artigo pretende apresentar e comentar alguns trechos da narrativa destacando ora a fantasia, ora seus elementos astronômicos.Palavras chave: Das Somnium, Lua, Johannes Kepler.

Abstract:
This article explores the uses of the witches' night-flight in Johannes Kelper’s Somnium (1634). It situates Kepler's engagement with the motif in the broader context of debates on the reality of the night-flight among early modern witch theorists, including Kepler's contemporary and friend, Georg Gödelmann. It proposes that Kepler understood the night-flight as a phenomenon with a disputed reality status and, as such, an appropriate imaginative space through which to pursue the thought experiment of lunar travel. Consequently, it suggests that we ought not to dismiss Kepler's engagements with

Abstract:
No início da idade moderna, novas concepções astronômicas e físicas fomentaram ideias relativas a outros mundos e vida extraterrestre, de modo que forneceram um território inédito para a imaginação científica e literária, a saber, o novo mundo na Lua. Em vista disso, empregamos a obra Somnium, de Johannes Kepler, como vestígio e indício, com a finalidade de examinar a ligação existente entre ciência e literatura no princípio da modernidade. Procuramos destacar como as ideias relativas à pluralidade e habitabilidade dos mundos e à possibilidade de viagens lunares e cósmicas são exploradas nesse

Abstract:
Johannes Kepler peut être compris comme représentant du conflit entre l'observation et la lecture qui a défini les théories de la connaissance à la Renaissance. Le constat de nouvelles connaissances est devenu difficile dans la mesure où la lecture et l'observation, actes de voir qui promettaient de nouvelles façons de savoir, s'avéraient concurrentielles l'une avec l'autre. Dans son Somnium (Songe), Kepler théorise un intérêt pour la lecture très typique de l'époque. Les questions concernant la lecture et l'observation qui prêtent une structure aux oeuvres de Kepler plus strictement scientifi

Abstract:
This study investigates an important historical phase in the curiously hybrid genre of the celestial journey narrative which has produced not only important scientific texts, such as Macrobius's Somnium Scipionis, but also some of Western Europe's finest poems, including Dante's Divine Comedy. I would like to compare Christine de Pizan's Chemin de Long Estude of 1403, which describes the author's celestial journey through the heavenly spheres, to another milestone in celestial voyage literature, Francis Godwin's English work The Man in the Moone of 1638. These two literary and historical endpo

Abstract:
From Johannes Kepler’s 1634 notes on his Somnium to essays by and on H.G. Wells in the early twentieth century, there have been many critical explorations of the literature we now call science fiction. The commentaries of these (often forgotten) early critics are of value principally because they first expressed many—if not most—of those concerns that would later become central to the sf criticism of the twentieth century: the impact of science and technology on human values, the logistics of space travel, the shifting boundaries between the real and the imagined, the portrayal of the alien “o

Abstract:
This essay explores the origins of science fiction as a literary genre in Latin America, specifically in Mexico. ln 1775 in the colonial town of Mérida, Yucatán, the Franciscan monk Antonio de Rivas wrote a curious tale describing a voyage to the moon. While borrowing from such European sources as Johannes Kepler’s Somnium, Francis Godwin’s The Man in the Moone, Cyrano de Bergerac’s Voyage to the Moon, and John Wilkins’ The Discovery of a New World, Rivas’s original treatment of the sf themes established by these better known works suggests that the Latin American intellectual community was pe

He is also a polymath working in the intersection between contemporary sciences such as astronomy, math, physics, optics, astrology, music theory, meteorology dan history. After spending years exploring those different disciplines, he later learned he was actually longing for the harmony. His fascination over harmony in nature kept growing up, in his last days Kepler was still trying to finish a book he started since he was still a scholar. This book is called Somnium. Somnium itself

Abstract This chapter traces the ways in which Philip Pullman’s amber spyglass replicates the seventeenth-century development of the telescope, and how His Dark Materials follows a literary tradition of speculating about other worlds. Pullman’s lengthy description of Mary Malone’s trial-and-error creation of the amber spyglass emphasizes workmanship and collaboration, a process that reflects Galileo’s own efforts with the telescope. This invention, which enabled people to see the moon in vivid detail, sparked the emergence of science fiction as a genre, as writers began to imagine extraterrest
