Don Oakley and Ralph Lane By ' ' 'iJ - Composer In Last Concert (1) TO ANCIENT MAN the stars must have seemed very close. As agriculture was learned, the stars played an im portant part in his life. He recognized their regular move ments with the seasons. Later, man began to make gods of the stars. Then he transferred his earthly gods to the heavens. It was only natural. 121 The Babylon ians from their temples, were first-rate observers. (The Tower of Babel was an observatory as well as a temple.) They saw that the planets seemed to move "through" the constellations. From this they devised the lodiac and the pseudo science of astrology. For centuries, the supersti tious man believed heavenly bodies guided his destiny. (31 The Greeks early realized that the earth must be a sphere ( Anaximander, about 600 B.C.I. Pythagoras de veloped the idea further. He conceived the universe to be made up of layers, like an onion. Pythagoras had dis covered the mathematics of music. He thought that as the Moon sphere, Sun sphere, planet spheres; etc., revolved about the earth and each other they produced harmonies the "music of the spheres." Other Greeks, particularly Hipparchus (e. ISO B.C.), noted the irregular movements of the planets. They questioned whether they did indeed revolve about the Earth. It remained for the great Ptolemy of Egypt, by an extremely complicated system, to put Earth back at the center of the universe and restore the harmony of the earlier Greeks. (4) During the Dark Ages, the Arabs preserved and added to Ptolemy's science. Later they transmitted it to Europe. The Ptolemaic earth-ceni tered concept held sway over men's minds until the Ren aissance. It then died a lingering death.
