There is a remarkable track round the Heavens, called the _Milky Way_ from its peculiar whiteness, which is owing to a great number of Stars scattered therein; none of which can be distinctly seen without telescopes. This track appears single in some parts, in others double. [Sidenote: Lucid Spots.] 401. There are several little whitish spots in the Heavens, which appear magnified, and more luminous when seen through telescopes; yet without any Stars in them. One of these is in _Andromeda_’s girdle, first observed _A. D._ 1612, by _Simon Marius_; and which has some whitish rays near its middle: it is liable to several changes, and is sometimes invisible. Another is near the Ecliptic, between the head and bow of _Sagittarius_: it is small, but very luminous. A third is on the back of the _Centaur_, which is too far South to be seen in _Britain_. A fourth, of a smaller size, is before _Antinous_’s right foot; having a Star in it, which makes it appear more bright. A fifth is in the Constellation of _Hercules_, between the Stars ζ and η, which spot, though but small, is visible to the bare eye if the sky be clear and the Moon absent. [Sidenote: Cloudy Stars.
