" Previous to the Constitution it had not been thought possible to divide sovereignty, or at least to have two different sovereignties moving as planets in the same orbit.

Around it, I made out presently several remote specks of lightthe planets of the Solar system.

All that can be safely propounded on such a subject is that the sequence of seasons is a constant and infallible phenomenon of Nature in that condition of our planet with which alone we have, or can have, any acquaintance.

He accounts for the relation of the masses and the densities of the planets to their distances from the sun, for the eccentricities of their orbits, for their rotations, for their satellites, for the general agreement in the direction of rotation among the celestial bodies, for Saturn's ring, and for the zodiacal light.

It may seem a pity to many that the Greenwich equatorial was not pointed at the place, just to see whether any foreign object did happen to be in that neighborhood; but it is no light matter to derange the work of an observatory, and alter the plans laid out for the staff, into a sudden sweep for a new planet on the strength of a mathematical investigation just received by post.

Yes,a dandy is good for something as such; and dandies such as I was just speaking of have rocked this planet like a cradle,aye, and left it swinging to this day.

This may explain the very rapid diminution of the polar ice-caps in the summer of either, but especially of the Southern hemisphere; and also the occasional appearance of large dark spots in their midst, where the shallow snow has probably been swept away by the rare storms of this planet from an extensive land surface.

And ever I drew more nigh, and looked out upon this strange sightthe visible circling of the planets about the mother sun.

We were brought up to believe that in the Carboniferous, or coal-bearing era, the atmosphere was intensely moist and hot, and overcharged with carbonic acid, which had been poured out from the interior of the planet by volcanic eruptions, or by some other convulsion.

We work wholly on planets, and they are taught to find a planet at any hour of the day, to make drawings of what they see, and to determine positions of planets and satellites.

No such creature could have existed in this planet without having been seen, described, and canvassed.

Thunder-showers occur here during the summer months, and impressive it is to watch the coming of the big transparent drops, each a small world in itself,one unbroken ocean without islands hurling free through the air like planets through space.

I found nothing better, at last, than to watch the opposition of the planets during the night, and especially that of the moon, with the other planets, because the moon is swifter in her course than any other of the heavenly bodies.

The sublime whirl of planets around their suns is as silent as raindrops oozing in the dark among the roots of plants.

After enjoying my surprise for a moment, the Brahmin observed: "We have, while you were asleep, passed the middle point between the earth's and the moon's attraction, and we now gravitate less towards our own planet than her satellite.

U'riel, the angel of the sun, was ordered at the crucifixion to interpose this planet between the sun and the earth, so as to produce a total eclipse.

By the mid 1990s many internet users began to see the entire planet as a single organism, with human beings as the neurons in a global brain.

I was born on the Sun, but, being of a roving disposition, I like to explore one planet after another.

Again, before a plant could work its healing powers, due regard had to be paid to the planet under whose influence it was supposed to be; for Aubrey mentions an old belief that if a plant "be not gathered according to the rules of astrology, it hath little or no virtue in it."

It must, therefore, be some planet outside the orbit of Uranus, and in all probability, according to Bode's empirical law, at nearly double the distance from the sun that Uranus is.

And he (Redwood) was standing on a planet before a sort of black platform lecturing about the new sort of growth that was now possible, to the More than Royal Institution of Primordial Forcesforces which had always previously, even in the growth of races, empires, planetary systems, and worlds, gone so: / / / / / /

On the one hand, he may have an empirical perception of it, as it manifests itself externallysomething so small that it approaches vanishing point; set in a world which, as regards time and space, is infinite; one only of the thousand millions of human creatures who run about on this planet for a very brief period and are renewed every thirty years.

According to his hypothesis,as he suggests, perhaps an erroneous hypothesis,the fluid matter which fills the heavenly spaces, and which may be compared to a vortex or whirlpool, circles about the sun and carries the planets along with it.

Stars and Planets by the Moon, observed (Memoirs.) at Cambridge Observatory from 1830 to 1835.

It broke up the traditional conservatism of astronomers, which had almost refused to regard as possible the existence of any planets beyond the orbit of Saturn, because for so many years none had revealed themselves to the watchful gaze.
