Stars moving “in the Manner of Saturn's Rings, nay, perhaps Ring within Ring, to a third or fourth Order”.
Featured on PDR in the collection Thomas Wright’s An Original Theory or New Hypothesis of the Universe (1750)
“I own I can never look upon the Stars without wondering why the whole World does not become Astronomers”. So admits Thomas Wright in An Original Theory or New Hypothesis of the Universe (1750). Written in the form of nine letters to a nameless friend, the book puts forwards “my Theory of the Universe, and the Ideas I have form’d of the known Creation.”
