the late 19th century - were people aware of all the planets? did anyone have any idea of what the Earth looked like? the moon? other planets? when did someone first see the Earth and all the continents?
what about telescopes...how were they in the late 1880s? could your average joe look at Mars and the moon in any detail?
(ive looked on wiki etc but can't seem to track down much in the way of what your average persons knowledge was of basic astronomy in the late 19th century...so any answers would be appreciated...)
