Comets in Wright's theory of the universe, 1750
Comets in Wright's theory of the universe. The diagram compares the size of five comets to the Earth (top centre). The main illustration shows the comet of 1665. C is the comet of 1682, D of 1665, E of 1742 and F of 1744. This page is from 'An original theory or new hypothesis of the Universe' (1750) by English astronomer Thomas Wright (1711-1786). In this book Wright gave the first explanation of the appearance of the Milky Way as being due to our immersion in a layer of stars. He proposed that the Sun is one of many stars orbiting around a Divine Centre and that the stars are distributed either in annuli (rings) or in thin, concentric, spherical shells.
