De Telluribus in Mundo Nostro Solari (Concerning the Earths in Our Solar System or Earths in the Universe) is a 1758 treatise by Swedish polymath Emanuel Swedenborg.[1][2][3] Taking the form of an account in which Swedenborg claimed communication with extra-terrestrials, the work was used to explore his theological ideas.[1] The book contained content originally published in Arcana Cœlestia, which was in turn drawn from Swedenborg's personal journal.[4]
