by Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle

Published in the late 17th century, *Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds* presents a captivating dialogue between a philosopher and a countess set against the backdrop of a starlit garden. The philosopher eloquently explains the heliocentric model of the solar system, challenging the prevailing geocentric view. He then delves into the intriguing possibility of extraterrestrial life, pondering the nature of other worlds and their inhabitants.
