In the late eighteenth century, Eise Eisinga, living in the small university town of Franeker, built a magnificent model of the solar system. When it was finished, news of his Planetarium spread rapidly all over the world. In this book, Arjen Dijkstra tells a delightful new story about Eisinga\u2019s life and the creation of the Franeker Planetarium. He draws upon dozens of previously unknown sources to put together a remarkable picture of the Builder of Heavens, placing Eisinga in the context of major economic, political and scientific change.
\nThe Planetarium was awarded the UNESCO World Heritage status in 2023.<\/p>\n

Arjen Dijkstra, PhD (b. 1979) is the director of Tresoar, Museum, Archive and Library Frysl\u00e2n in Leeuwarden. He specialises in the history of science.<\/p>\n
