We have no right to assume, and yet we do habitually assume, that our telescopes reveal to us the ultimate structure of the planet.

We have no right to assume, and yet we do habitually assume, that our telescopes reveal to us the ultimate structure of the planet.

We have no right to assume, and yet we do habitually assume, that our telescopes reveal to us the ultimate structure of the planet.

We have no right to assume, and yet we do habitually assume, that our telescopes reveal to us the ultimate structure of the planet.
