🧪 Rethinking early modern method 🔓️ In our latest issue of the BJHS, Christian Henkel shows how Johann Christoph Sturm drew on Francis Bacon—revealing a surprisingly Baconian approach to experiment, hypothesis, and reforming scientific practice in a still largely Aristotelian context.

Physics is communicated in many forms, but perhaps the most enduring is the printed book📚 In the latest issue of #CavMag, Whipple librarians reveal how early textbooks invited interaction thanks to unfolding tabs, rotating diagrams, even string-bound mechanisms. Read the article 👉️ buff.ly/FD39Py9

For the #Spacetober prompt history: my #linocut portrait of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) & his model of the celestial spheres, or as we would say, the solar system. 🐡🧪🔭 #histsci Copernicus is shown in green with a lily of the valley, the standard Renaissance symbol to indicate a medical doctor, 🧵
This is an original 2 colour linoleum block print showing Copernicus and his model of the celestial spheres, or as we would say, the solar system. Copernicus is shown in green with a lily of the valley, the standard Renaissance symbol to indicate a medical doctor. His planetary model is shown as he conceived it in gold. Using the ancient Greek and Roman symbols, the heliocentric solar system has the following planets: Mercury (the fleet-footed messenger with his serpents and staff, the caduceus), Venus (goddess of beauty - the mirror, like an ankh), Earth (4 cardinal directions), Mars (spear and shield), Jupiter (thunderbolt) and Saturn (the scythe of Time). The outer planets had yet to be discovered. Beyond Saturn, he envisioned the sphere of the "fixed stars".

For #Spacetober prompt telescope: #astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell as a grad student in ‘67 discovered the 1st radio pulsar, a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of EM radiation. This radiation can only be observed when the star is pointed towards us; 🧪🐡🔭👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci 🧵1/n
My linocut print ‘Jocelyn Bell and the LGM-1’ showing the young astronomer in dark grey ink holding a sheet of paper, smiling while looking over her shoulder, dressed in a pea coat, cat’s eye glasses and pigtails. Behind her in green is her famous pulsar dataset like a series of horizontal parallel lines, each with an irregular peak in the middle, resembling a mountain range on a topographical map.

My linocut portrait of Johannes Kepler on cream coloured washi paper. Kepler is in Renaissance garb printed in indigo. He holds a compass and rests his hand on his model of nested Platonic solids from Mysterium Cosmographicum, printed in gold ink. Above that in silver in are 7 musical staves with notes next to symbols for related planetary bodies: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Over his other shoulder are 3 schematic diagrams drawn in ellipses (oriented with the semi-major axes horizontal) in magenta. The top one relates to his first law and shows an ellipse cut in two horizontally, the two foci labelled F and F’ and a triangle drawn to a point P on the ellipse (FPF’). The middle ellipse (2nd law) shows the Sun at a focus, and a series of circles on the ellipse as a planet such that the sections are equal area and alternate colouring (magenta or none) like a peppermint. The bottom ellipse (3rd law) is cut in half with semi-major and semi-minor axes shown
