<div>A mysterious black sphere is discovered in the orbit of Mars. The Achilles is sent to investigate.

Thus men could not dwell in the southern part of the world, as they do now at a distance of sixteen degrees from the equator because if the sun stayed too long, it would make that place uninhabitable84. Similarly, at about the end of sixty-six degrees85 of the firmament northwards from the same line, the region beneath them would be uninhabitable on account of the cold of the very long night. The region from the end of those sixty-six degrees is uninhabitable on account of excessive cold as far as the region that is under the sun's course. For the sun inclines towards the south side of the world, the cold increases so much on the north side, that animals cannot dwell in it and the trees do not grow. And so men or animals cannot dwell south of the aforementioned line on account of excessive heat, and in the land that is p.156</div><div></div><div></div><div>Although each of the spheres of the firmament has a separate motion, they all move together without opposition; for, if there were contrariety in the firmament as there is in the elemental bodies, everything it effects in them would cause a similar effect in the firmament, and thus the strongest body in the firmament would change the weakest body into its own nature, and similarly we should see the planets, and constellations, and the other stars at one time larger, at another smaller than one another. This is not seen now, and was not, and never will be seen. Thus it is clear whence those changes, i.e., the contrariety in the firmament can be understood.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Thus is the great smooth, firm body in the firmament&#0151;a round sphere like a ball, around its own centre, its centre in a middle point, which remains for ever in one point, and ever moving and it is certain that the motion is uniform since it has never made the least halt, and does not move swifter or slower at one time more than another, and thus are the seven spheres of the seven planets&#0151; the moon, Mercury, Venus, the sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the sphere of the fixed stars and the sphere of the twelve signs,87 i.e., the sphere which we call the firmament88. Thus were those ten spheres since the time God created them, and thus will they be forever, as long as He wishes them to be thus.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The uninformed89 say that the primary properties of the elements, and the properties of the things that are compounded of them, are contained in the twelve signs and in the planets, and they declare that Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are warm and dry in accordance with the nature of fire; and Taurus, Virgo, and Capricornus cold and dry of the nature of earth; Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius warm and wet of the nature of air; Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces cold and wet according to the nature of water. And they say that some of those signs are movable, and some firm and immovable, and some neutral. They say also that some of them are male and some female, some light and some dark, and they say that some of the planets are good and some bad, and that some of them are favourable and auspicious for good people, and others unfavourable, adverse, p.159</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>This article was originally published on Somatosphere: Science, Medicine, and Anthropology as part of the Dispatches from the Pandemic series (5 April 2020).
