We are liKely to regard the moon as

all planets and their satellites exhibit
separately such phases. and most OF
them can be easily seen with q small

One of the greatest discoveries OF SCI
ence is due to observation of the
eclipses of Jupiter's moons. 1t was
found that when the earth was in the
part of Its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes
earlier than when It was In the far
thermost part. whereas by all rules or
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time 1t was
deduced from this that light was not
instantaneous and consequently took
sixteen minutes to traverse the diam
eter of the earth's orbit, distance OF
about 2OO,OO0.OO0 miles. thus giving to
light a velocity Of 10000 miles Sec
