about the milky way. Some say that it is a reflection of our sight to the sun, just as they say that the comet is.
But this too is impossible. For if the eye and the mirror and the whole of the object were severally at rest, then the same part of the image would appear Tee at the same point in the mirror. But if the mirror and the object move, keeping the same Giuseppe Zanotti Shoes distance from the eye which is at rest, but at different rates of speed and so not always at the same interval from one another, New Jersey then it is impossible for the same image always to appear in the same part of the mirror. Now the constellations included in the circle of the milky way move; and so does the sun, the object to which our sight is reflected; but we stand still. And the distance Adidas Calabasas Yeezy Boost 700 of those two from us is constant and uniform, Leo Komarov Jersey but their distance from one another varies. For the Dolphin sometimes rises at midnight, sometimes in the morning. But in each case the same parts of the milky way are found near it. But if it were a reflection and not a genuine affection of these this ought not to be the case.
Again, we can see the milky way reflected at night in water and similar mirrors. But under these circumstances it is impossible for our sight to be reflected to the sun.
These considerations show that the milky way is not the path of one of the planets, nor the light of imperceptible stars, nor a reflection. And those are the chief theories handed down by others hitherto.
Let us recall our fundamental principle and then Mark Streit Jersey explain our views. We have already laid down that the outermost part of what is called the air is potentially fire and that therefore when the air is dissolved by motion, there is separated off a kind of matter-and of this matter we assert that comets consist. We must suppose that what happens is the same as in the case of the comets when the matter does not form independently Nike Air Max 2015 Męskie but is formed by one of the fixed stars or the planets. Then these stars appear to be fringed, because matter of this Calle Jarnkrok Jersey kind follows their course. In the same way, a certain kind of matter follows the sun, and we explain the halo as a reflection from it when the air is of the right constitution. Now we must assume that what happens in the case of the stars severally happens in the case of the whole of the heavens and all the upper motion. For it is natural to suppose that, if the motion Nike Air Max 2017 Męskie of a single star excites a flame, that of all the stars should have a similar result, and especially in that region in which the stars are biggest and most numerous and nearest to one another. Now the circle of the zodiac dissolves this kind of matter because of the motion of the sun and the planets, and for this reason most comets are found outside the Alexei Kovalev Jersey tropic circles. Again, no Robin Lehner Jersey fringe Ryan Callahan Jersey appears round the sun or moon: for they dissolve such matter too quickly to admit of its formation. But this circle in which the milky way appears to our sight is the greatest circle, and its position is such that it extends far outside the tropic circles. Besides the region is full of the biggest and brighteslinks:
