The Adjustable Cosmos. "In the fifteenth century, three worthies come together to tackle the Emperor's disastrous horoscope. They lift themselves to space in their medieval vessel, braving the terrors and wonders of the of the Ptolemaic universe, to reach for the stars..." [Via]
This is really superb. Apart from everything else, it is wonderfully written, and the writing is usually the poorest part of these efforts.

And much as I love the real things, those rings of Saturn lwould portend a better universe. Or one designed by Kincaid. Or possibly both, in a Mirror, Mirror sorta way. But definitely one with more strudel.
