Chapter 28. On the subject-matter of astronomy.

1. The subject-matter of astronomy is made up of many kinds. For it

defines what the universe is, what the heavens, what the position and

movement of the sphere, what the axis of the heavens and the poles,

what are the climates of the heavens, what the courses of the sun and

moon and stars, and so forth.
