 Oddly, none of these fictions made use of the lunar maps contemporaneously created by Hevelius, Riccioli and others.It was quite some time before such "extraordinary voyages" went beyond the lunar sphere.Eberhard Kindermann sent an airship to the planets in 1744 in "Die Geschwinde Reise auf dem Lufft-schiff nach der obern Welt" ("The Airship's Speedy Journey to the Upper World"); while a traveller from the star Sirius passes inward through the Solar System, stopping at various planets in Voltaire's "Micromégas" (1752); followed by another outward voyage in Marie-Anne de Roumier-Robert's "Voyage de Milord Céton dans les Sept Planètes" ("Lord Seton's Voyage Among the Seven Planets", 1765).
