"Map Showing Tycho Brahe's System of Planetary Orbits Around the Earth" is a historical astronomical illustration from "The Celestial Atlas, or The Harmony of the Universe" (Harmonia Macrocosmica) by Andreas Cellarius, published in 1660. This map is a visually striking representation of the geoheliocentric model of the solar system proposed by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe in the late 16th century. Brahe's model, known as the Tychonic system, posited that the Earth was stationary at the center of the universe with the Sun revolving around it, while the other planets orbited the Sun.

Andreas Cellarius (1596–1665) was a Dutch-German cartographer and cosmographer who is most renowned for his elaborate and beautifully illustrated atlas, which stands as one of the most significant works in the history of astronomy. The atlas comprises a comprehensive collection of celestial maps, blending scientific knowledge with Baroque artistry. It serves not only as an educational tool of the cosmological systems known at the time but also as a historical record of the astronomical knowledge and beliefs of the 17th century.

The map itself is an exquisite example of the fine engraving and artistic embellishments characteristic of Cellarius's work. It features intricate designs, elaborate Latin inscriptions, and is often highlighted with rich, hand-applied color. The map's central diagram illustrates Brahe's cosmological scheme, surrounded by a series of smaller diagrams and figures that further explain the motion of the planets and the structure of the cosmos according to Brahe's observations.

As a historical artifact, "Map Showing Tycho Brahe's System of Planetary Orbits Around the Earth" is not only a testament to the scientific theories of its time but also a piece of art that reflects the grandeur and complexity with which the universe was perceived. It remains an important work for historians of science and art, as well as for collectors and enthusiasts of antique maps and astronomical history. The map, along with the rest of Cellarius's atlas, continues to be celebrated for its aesthetic beauty and its role in documenting the transition from ancient to modern scientific thought about the heavens.
