“Christiaan Huygens wrote: What a wonderful and amazing scheme have we here of the magnificent vastness of the universe. So many suns, so many earths, and every one of them stocked with so many herbs, trees, and animals, and adorned with so many seas and mountains. How must our wonder and admiration be increased when we consider the prodigious distance and multitude of the stars?”
