DescriptionKepler describes the alignment of the platonic solids in the solar system. The four illustrations depict flattened views from within the octahedron looking out. The horizontal line is the square bisecting the octahedron, and the other lines show the edges of the remaining solids. The third illustration from the top depicts an alignment in which the angles of the solids are aligned, an alignment which Kepler rejects. The fourth illustration depicts the alignment of the solids in Kepler's model.
