About this book
Discover the wonders of the cosmos with Cosmografía by Amédée Guillemin, a foundational work of scientific exploration that transforms how we understand our place in the universe. Originally published in 1889, this classic science text guides listeners through the celestial mechanics that govern our world—from the daily movement of the sky and the Earth's rotation to the Moon's mysterious phases and the Sun's life-giving energy.
Guillemin masterfully explains the fundamental principles of cosmography, revealing why we experience day and night, how seasons change, and what role celestial bodies play in our existence.

His systematic approach examines Earth's dimensions, its orbit around the Sun, and the dramatic phenomena of solar and lunar eclipses.
This audiobook is ideal for history of science enthusiasts, astronomy lovers, and anyone curious about how our ancestors understood the heavens. Whether you're interested in vintage scientific literature or seeking to appreciate the intellectual foundations of modern astronomy, Cosmografía offers a fascinating journey through 19th-century scientific thought—a time when wonder and reason combined to illuminate the cosmos above us.
