Prutenic Tables

The Prutenic Tables are detailed calculations created in the 16th century by astronomer Erasmus Reinhold. They provided precise data on the positions of the planets and the Sun, based on Copernicus’s heliocentric model. These tables allowed astronomers and astrologers to predict planetary movements and celestial events with greater accuracy. Essentially, they are complex charts or algorithms that help understand the location of planets at any given time, serving as important tools in astronomy and navigation before modern telescopes and computer software.
