ABSTRACT

What are for us among the main features of the entire universe – the 12 celestial signs, solstices, equinoxes, tropical years, sidereal years, equator, colures, tropics, arctic circles, and celestial poles – are all restricted to the very tiny terrestrial globe, and exist only in the imagination of earth dwellers. Hence, if we transfer the imagination to another globe, we must conceive of everything as changed.1
