Engraving showing Wrights theory of the universe
Illustration depicting three possible structures for the universe from Thomas Wrights book An Original Theory of the Universe, published in London in 1750. In this book Wright (1711-86) gave the first correct explanation of the appearance of the Milky Way as being due to our immersion in a layer of stars. He proposed that the Sun is one of many stars orbiting around a Divine Centre and that the stars are distributed either in thin, concentric, spherical shells or in annuli (as seen here), like the rings of Saturn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Thomas Wright's groundbreaking theory of the universe, as depicted in his renowned book "An Original Theory of the Universe" published in London in 1750. Wright, a brilliant mind ahead of his time, provided an accurate explanation for the mesmerizing appearance of the Milky Way. He proposed that our immersion within a layer of stars is responsible for this celestial phenomenon. In this illustration, we witness three possible structures for the universe according to Wright's visionary ideas. The Sun takes its place among countless other stars orbiting around what he referred to as a Divine Centre. This concept challenged conventional beliefs and opened up new avenues for understanding our cosmic surroundings. The arrangement of stars portrayed here resembles Saturn's magnificent rings, with thin concentric spherical shells or annuli encircling the central point. Such an intricate distribution hints at the vastness and complexity inherent in our cosmos. Thomas Wright's contributions to astronomy and cosmology were truly revolutionary during his era. His theories laid a solid foundation for future scientific investigations into galaxies and their formations. This historical print serves as a testament to his pioneering spirit and enduring impact on the history of science.
