The paper will examine the diffusion of astronomical pluralism in the 18th century Europe. Two kinds of writers played significant roles in the process. Historical figures in the history of modern science, such as David Gregory, John Kiel, Colin MacLaurin, explained the idea of plurality of worlds to the readers of their textbooks of Newtonian astronomy. Major science writers in the century persuaded the public to accept the idea in plain words. Their activities give evidence to the importance of astronomical pluralism in the development of Newtonianism in the century.
