Exploring Johannes Kepler's 'Somnium' – one of the first science fiction stories
The Somnium Project is an ongoing effort to fully translate into English the Somnium, which Kepler wrote in Latin between 1600 and his death in 1630. Kepler’s original Latin is out-of-copyright and I refer to Kepler’s Opera Omnia ed. Frick 1858. The English translations here are copyright to me, Tom Metcalfe, and may not be reprinted without my permission.
