Annotated Source #11

Rosen, Edward. "A Full Universe." The Scientific Monthly 63.3 (1946): p. 213-217. Print.
  • Rosen's article addresses both Ptolemy's and Copernicus' understandings of the universe, and adds that of Tycho Brahe who felt he had made a compromise between the two systems, though his theory ultimately proved to be unsound. It essentially provides another view on the relationship between the two cosmological systems, and offers a look at the progress after Copernicus, which may give a useful amount of perspective to my project.
