"Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds" by Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle is a groundbreaking popular science book from the late 1600s, presented as a dialogue between a philosopher and a countess strolling through her garden under the stars. The philosopher elucidates the heliocentric model of the solar system while contemplating the intriguing possibility of extraterrestrial life. This work stands out for its ability to engage with complex scientific ideas in an accessible manner, avoiding the ire of the Church that often plagued similar texts of its time.
