p by a wind and fell down in the daytime-then too a comet happened to have appeared in the west. And at the time of the great comet the winter was Miehet Parajumpers Windbreaker Ike dry and north winds prevailed, and the wave was due to an opposition of winds. For in the gulf a north Jarred Tinordi Jersey wind blew Belstaff Rayne Blouson Kurtki and outside it a violent south wind. Again in the archonship of Nicomachus a comet appeared for a few days about the equinoctial circle (this one had not risen in the west), and simultaneously with it there Storm Sp Yd happened the storm at Corinth.
That there are few comets and that they appear rarely and outside the tropic circles more than within them is due to the motion of the sun and the stars. For this motion does not Lawson Crouse Jersey only cause the hot principle to be secreted but also dissolves it when UGG Accessories it is gathering. But the chief reason is that most of this stuff collects in the region of the milky way.

Let us now explain the origin, cause, and nature of the milky way. And here too let us begin by discussing the statements of others on the subject.
(1) Of the so-called Pythagoreans some say that this is the path of one of the stars that fell from heaven at the time of Phaethon’s downfall. Others say that the sun used once to move in this circle and that this region was scorched or met with NHL Mens Boston Bruins Rinkside Victor Pullover Hoodie - Black some other affection of this kind, because of the sun and its motion.
But it is absurd not to see that if this were the reason the circle of the Zodiac ought to be affected in the same way, and indeed more so than that of the milky way, since not the sun only but all Nike Air Max 180 Konur Skór the planets move in it. We can see the whole of this circle (half of it being visible at any time of the night), but it shows no signs of any such affection except where a part of it touches the circle of the milky way.
(2) Anaxagoras, Democritus, and their schools say that the milky way is the light of certain stars. For, they say, when the sun passes below the earth some of the stars are hidden from it. Now the light of those on which the sun shines is invisible, being obscured by the of the sun. But the milky way is the peculiar light of those stars which are shaded by the earth Darcy Tucker Jersey from the sun’s rays.
This, too, is obviously impossible. The milky way is always unchanged and among the same constellations (for it is clearly a greatest circle), whereas, since the sun does not remain in the same place, what is hidden from it differs at different times. Consequently with the change of the sun’s position the milky way ought to change its position too: but Brian Bellows Jersey we find that this does not happen. Besides, if astronomical demonstrations are correct and the size of Nike Air Max Trainer 1.3 Męskie the sun is greater than that of the earth and the distance of the stars from the earth many times greater than that of the sun (just as the sun is further from the earth than the moon), then the cone made by the rays of the sun would terminate Tall Sequins Czyścibut 3173 at no great distance from the earth, and the shadow of the earth (what we call night) would not reach the stars. On the contrary, the sun shines on all the stars and the earth screens none of them.
