The Ancient and Medieval cosmos as depicted in Peter Apian's Cosmographia (Antwerp, 1539).
In the general sense, a cosmos is an orderly or harmonious system. It originates from the Greek term ??sµ?? (kosmos), meaning "order" or "ornament" and is antithetical to the concept of chaos. Today, the word is generally used as a synonym of the word Universe (considered in its orderly aspect). The word cosmos originates from the same root. In many Slavic languages such as Russian and Bulgarian, the word ?????? cosmos means also the "outer space". In Mandarin Chinese, cosmos is translated as ?? yuzhou, which literally translated means space-time (? yu = space + ? zhou = time).
