 1 Text,  7 |    distant ones are a thousand times as far as the nearest; possibly
 2 Text,  10|    standard a distance 400,000 times that of the sun from the
 3 Text,  10|     distance, making one three times as great, and so indefinitely.
 4 Text,  10|        second sphere will be 8 times the unit; that of the third
 5 Text,  10|     that of the third space 27 times, and so on, as the cube
 6 Text,  10|        having a radius 400,000 times the sun's distance. We are
 7 Text,  11|    volume equal to 125,000,000 times the sphere we have taken
 8 Text,  11|   found by multiplying 400,000 times the distance of the sun
 9 Text,  11|        boundary is 200,000,000 times the distance of the sun.
10 Text,  12|     grant that there are eight times as many, or 1,000,000,000.
11 Text,  14|        having a radius 800,000 times the distance of the sun,
12 Text,  14| therefore a diameter 1,600,000 times this distance, would, judging
13 Text,  16|      space during all historic times. It follows, therefore,
14 Text,  16|        000,000 and 200,000,000 times the distance of the sun.
15 Text,  16|     much more than 200,000,000 times the distance of the sun.~
16 Text,  18| magnitude would be nearly four times that of the magnitude next
17 Text,  18|        should have nearly four times as many stars of the sixth
18 Text,  18|      of the fifth; nearly four times as many of the seventh as
