Description
-
This image depicts some of the thirty-nine comets observed by the Laputans. They were also able to calculate their orbits with accuracy. The Laputan astronomers also wanted to present their theory of comets to the rest of the world. Here we see the planets and several comets that were observed by the Laputans. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
