“The first question concerning the Celestial Bodies is whether there be a system, that is whether the world or universe compose together one globe, with a center, or whether the particular globes of earth and stars be scattered dispersedly, each on its own roots, without any system or common center.” WorldFirstsBodyEarthTogetherUniverseStarsCommonParticularRootsAstronomyGlobesCelestialCosmologyCelestial Bodies Author:Francis Bacon
