Their Aſtronomers have all the ſame Signs of the Bear, the Lion, Orion, and the reſt, but not turning upon the ſame Axis with us: for that’s different in all the Planets. As Jupiter can ſee no Planet but Saturn, ſo Saturn knows of no Planet but Jupiter; which appears to him much as Venus doth to us, never removing above 37 Degrees from the Sun. The Length of their Days I cannot determine: But if from the Diſtance and Period of his innermoſt Attendant, and comparing it with the innermoſt of Jupiter’s, a Man may venture to give a Gueſs, they are very little different from Jupiter’s, 10 Hours or ſomewhat leſs. But whereas in Jupiter theſe are equally divided between Light and Darkneſs, the Inhabitants of Saturn muſt perceive a more ſenſible difference than we, eſpecially between Summer and Winter. For our Axis inclines to the Plane of the Ecliptick but 23 degrees and a half, but there’s above 31. Upon this Account his Moons muſt decline very much from the Path that the Sun ſeems to move in, and his Inhabitants can never have a full Moon but juſt at the Equinoxes; Two of which fall out in 30 of our Years. ’Tis this Poſition of the Axis too that is the Cauſe of thoſe delightful Appearances, and wonderful Proſpects that its Inhabitants enjoy: For the better underſtanding of which I ſhall draw a Figure of Saturn with his Ring about him: in which the Proportion between the Diameters of the Globe and Ring is as 9 to 4. And the empty Space between them is of the ſame Breadth with the Ring itſelf. All Obſervations conſpire to prove that That is of no great Thickneſs, altho’ if we ſhould allow it ſix hundred German Miles, I think, conſidering its Diameter, we ſhould not overdo the Matter.
