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 contato íntimo entre ciência e literatura. Nosso objetivo é identificar as persistências e metamorfoses dos resquícios na obra de Kepler e, com isso, delinear as linhas primevas de um novo gênero literário, isto é, a ficção científica. Ao propor um exercício de hermenêutica histórica sobre o Somnium, pretendemos levar em conta, pelo menos em parte, as transmissões e recepções do tema enquanto trajetória de uma ideia no tempo.

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 scientifiques deviennent le sujet du récit du Songe. Tout comme Kepler se sert de la fiction du Songe pour illustrer un système universel qui marginalise l'homme physiquement et marque les limites de la connaissance humaine, il projette aussi un monde et un lieu au delà de ces limites.

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 endpoints illustrate the changes in European technical astronomy which occurred between 1400 and 1650, and also reveal the shift which occurred in the very nature of the celestial voyage genre. I will also briefly review other closely related early modern celestial voyage narratives written by Johannes Kepler and Bishop John Wilkins.

Abstract:
For all his life Johannes Kepler seeking for harmony. Kepler is best known for his laws of planetary movement. 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 is the Latin word for 'dream,' a word that make sense if you read the whole chapter. The main idea for this project is Kepler’s fascination over the harmony in celestial object, thus he tried to convince people that Copernicus heliocentrism is the absolute truest way to understand how our solar system works. The idea of making narative came up to Kepler’s mind as he turned his research into a fiction, a story about a boy who makes his journey to the moon to help his mother for being accused of being a witch. Similiarly to the boy, Kepler’s mother is also accused for witchcraft. So Somnium was not really just a scientific book but in some part of them, there is also some biographical facts and fiction. By knowing the pattern in nature we can understand that the nature is in order and there is a grand design hidden in layers. Just like Kepler that are fascinated by the order of nature, 'Somnium' in this work is also talks about the pattern and harmony the curiousity for nature that represented in geometrical objet and natural study, and also about the old knowledge where science, art and spirituality is learnt through one form knowledge

Abstract:
Johannes Kepler is considered to be the first scholar to have offered an adequate description of heavenly phenomena observed on the Moon's sky. Kepler outlined his ideas in his Somnium ( The Dream ), written originally in 1609, and subsequently printed in the years 1630/34. Kepler's lunar astronomy was to expose the absurdity of the arguments that the geocentric theatre of heavenly phenomena proves that the Earth remains motionless. In this paper, I argue that at the turn of the seventeenth century the idea of the sky observed from the Moon's surface was explored in cosmological discourse far more often than it has been assumed so far. My argument derives from the manuscript treatise Astrostereon (1603) authored by an English astrologer and physician, Edward Gresham. Writing for the same purpose as Kepler but several years earlier, Gresham laid down the foundation of lunar astronomy. I also demonstrate the uses of lunar astronomy in astrological almanacs printed in London at the time when Kepler's ideas were not widely known.

Abstract:
O artigo apresenta uma tradução do texto póstumo de Johannes Kepler, intitulado Somnium, o qual foi publicado em 1634. Apesar de ter sido originalmente publicado como um tratado sobre a astronomia lunar, o formato do texto permite classificá-lo também como um precursor da ficção científica moderna. São sugeridas também algumas atividades pedagógicas, adequadas para a educação básica, que poderiam ser desenvolvidas a partir do manuscrito.
