Space Extends Everywhere
That the machine of Heaven is not a hard and impervious body full of various real spheres, as up to now has been believed by most people. It will be proved that it extends everywhere, most fluid and simple, and nowhere presents obstacles as was formerly held, the circuits of the Planets being wholly free and without the labour and whirling round of any real spheres at all, being divinely governed under a given law.
Tycho Brahe, De mundi aetherei recentioribus phaenomenis (1588)
Notes
An assertion from Tycho Brahe that captures the change of perspective of his time on the night skies.
