Abstract: There are therefore innumerable suns, there are an infinite number of earths that similarly go around those suns, just as the seven we see go around this sun near to us… we see the suns, which are the largest, indeed immense, bodies, but we do not see the earths which, being much smaller bodies, are invisible."*
