V. Of the infinity of the sphere of fix'd stars. By Edmund Halley, L. L. D. R. S. S

Abstract

The System of the World, as it is now understood, is taken to occupy the whole Abyss of Space, and to be as such actually infinite; and the appearance of the Sphere of Fixt Stars, still discovering smaller and smaller ones, as you apply better Telescopes, seems to confirm this Doctrine.
