Viewed as a flashpoint of the Scientific Revolution, early modern
astronomy witnessed a virtual explosion of ideas about the nature
and structure of the world. This study explores these theories in a
variety of intellectual settings, challenging our view of modern
science as a straightforward successor to Aristotelian natural
philosophy. It shows how astronomers dealt with celestial novelties
by deploying old ideas in new ways and identifying more subtle
notions of cosmic rationality. Beginning with the celestial spheres
of Peurbach and ending with the evolutionary implications of the
new star Mira Ceti, it surveys a pivotal phase in our understanding
of the universe as a place of constant change that confirmed deeper
patterns of cosmic order and stability.
