Example text
E. Several authors of other treatises have referred to his work, giving some historical perspective on his contribution to both astronomy and mathematics, as well as the opinions of his work during the time. The only remaining text found to date written by Aristarchus is a document entitled Treatise on the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon. The significance of this piece has nothing to do with whether the Sun or the Earth is the center of the universe, but rather with the fact that he reasoned, through mathematics and observation of reflected sunlight on the surface of the Moon, a method to determine the relationships between the Moon, Earth, and Sun without the benefit of instruments or trigonometry.
H. H. Warner, a wealthy astronomy patron from Rochester, New York, announced that he would give $200 to anyone who discovered a new comet. Barnard jumped at the opportunity, and made his first new comet discovery through his five-inch telescope in 1881. As a newlywed, Barnard used the money from the discovery of comet 1881 VI, as it was named, as a down payment to build a house for his bride, Rhoda Calvert. Later that year he was offered a job at the Mount Hamilton Lick Observatory, near San Jose, California, taking inventory of the property.
Since the universe is finite, nothing exists beyond the limits of the universe, and since everything is an organism, this highest degree of life in the cosmos must reside in the sphere of the aether. In the 13th century, the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas (1225–74) found translations of Aristotle’s teaching notes on astronomy, and convinced the church to use this work as the basis for explaining Christianity. When the church adopted these philosophies as the foundation for the structure of the universe to explain heaven and God, it became the word of God, and questioning Aristotle was tantamount to questioning God.
