Description

We have already discussed the first causes of nature, and all natural motion, also the stars ordered in the motion of the heavens, and the physical element-enumerating and specifying them and showing how they change into one another-and becoming and perishing in general. There remains for consideration a part of this inquiry which all our predecessors called meteorology. It is concerned with events that are natural, though their order is less perfect than that of the first of the elements of bodies. They take place in the region nearest to the motion of the stars. Such are the milky way, and comets, and the movements of meteors.

Author

Aristotle was an influential philosopher and polymath who lived in Ancient Greece. He was a student of Plato and is widely regarded as one of the most important thinkers in history, pioneering the fields of aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics, politics, and science. His works were instrumental in the development of Western thought and have been a major source of inspiration throughout the ages.
