About this title

Synopsis

"IT is never safe, as we know, to judge by appearances, and this is perhaps more true of astronomy than of anything else. For instance, the idea which one would most naturally form of the earth and heaven is that the solid earth on which we live and move extends to a great distance in every direction, and that the heaven is an immense dome upon the inner surface of which the stars are fixed. Such must needs have been the idea of the universe held by men in the earliest times. In their view the earth was of paramount importance."
