Thomas Wright's explanation of the Milky Way
Numéro d’image : 11904905
| Illustration showing Thomas Wright's explanation of the Milky Way,from his book An Original Theory of the Universe,published in London in 1750. Wright (1711-86) gave the first correct explanation of the appearance of the Milky Way as being due to our immersion in a layer of stars. An observer at A would see few stars when looking towards B or C,more when looking towards E,F or G and many stars when looking along the plane towards H. Wright proposed that the Sun is one of many stars orbiting around a Divine Centre and that the stars are distributed either in thin,concentric,spherical shells or in annuli,like the rings of Saturn | |
