Note 5 — Chapter II
Reading edition
It happens, curiously enough, that the doctrine of the perfect immobility of the Sun, which so shocked the Qualifiers of the Inquisition, is simply discarded by modern astronomers. No one now holds that the Sun is the centre of the whole universe, or that he is immovable. It is generally supposed that he travels in space, though not round any known centre, and the Earth and Planets with him.
