What is da Vinci's point of view in this passage?
If you look at the stars, cutting off the rays (as may be
done by looking through a very small hole made with
the extreme point of a very fine needle, placed so as
almost to touch the eye), you will see those stars so
minute that it would seem as though nothing could be
smaller, it is in fact their great distance which is the
reason of their diminution for many of them are very
many times larger than the star which is the earth with
water
The largest stars are found closest to the Earth
O Stars that appear bigger are larger than the Earth'
sun
O Some stars are hard to see because they are not
very bright
O The size of a star cannot be determined by how it
appears in the sky
-"In Praise of the Sun."
Leonardo da Vinci
