Set in the early 17th century, the narrative explores the scientific rivalry and collaboration between astronomers Johannes Kepler and Jeremiah Horrocks. After Kepler's publication of the Rudolphine Tables, Horrocks, alongside his correspondent William Crabtree, sought to refine these tables based on their own observations. They challenged Kepler's predictions, particularly regarding the transit of Venus, leading Horrocks to confidently predict an actual transit in 1639, showcasing the evolving nature of astronomical science during this period.
