text_original: This universe was THE SOLAR SYSTEM 89 supposed to rotate as a unit about its center, with the result that the Sun (comparatively near that center, but absolutely at an immense distance from it) moved in a circle of dimensions so vast that since the discovery of its motion it had not deviated appreciably from a straight line, but had steadily directed its course toward the constella  tion Hercules.
