Attentive students learning about the solar system in the opening plate from “Smith’s Illustrated Astronomy, Designed for the Use of the Public or Common Schools in the United States” by Asa Smith (1848). Notice Uranus is labeled “Herschel” & Neptune “Le Verrier.” Coin for scale. #histSTEM#HistSci

An illustration from a mid 19th century book on astronomy with a full page depiction of students arrayed on a fantasized checkered plain with an instructor on the left pointing to the solar system including portrayals of the paths of planetary and comet orbits in the night sky. There is also an orrery I. the middle of the plain with a seated student operating a mechanical crank.
