For this weeks #outofthisworld post, we are traveling a mere 238,900 miles away, to our own moon.  The volvelle shown here was drawn and engraved by Polish astronomer Johonnes Hevelius for inclusion in his book, Selenographia. The first lunar atlas, Selenographia provides detailed drawings of the moon, including its landscape, topography, and waxing and waning phases.

Johannes Hevelius. Selenographia: Sive, Lunae Descriptio. Gedani : Autoris sumtibus, typis Hünefeldianis, 1647.
