CONT

Le mot «astronomie» veut dire : règles (nomos) des astres. Ces règles sont décrites par les mathématiques, qui sont le langage de la perfection. La Lune est la frontière entre ces deux mondes. On parle du domaine «cislunaire» (de ce côté-ci de la lune) : la Terre est toujours changeante. Et du domaine «translunaire» (au-delà de la lune) : le ciel et ses pérennités intangibles.
