Colored ellipses sweep across a black field, so the orbits stand out as bright lines rather than the dense ink of older star charts. The notion that planets travel along ellipses instead of perfect circles traces to Johannes Kepler, whose work in the early 1600s overturned the circular models that had long shaped both astronomy and astrological reckoning. Diagrams like this one belong to an era when the same skies were read for navigation and for omens, and the visual language of orbits moved easily between the two.
