Sentences with COMETS (5)

Thereafter, I showed how the greatest part of the matter of this chaos must, in accordance with these laws, dispose and arrange itself in such a way as to present the appearance of heavens; how in the meantime some of its parts must compose an earth and some planets and comets, and others a sun and fixed stars.

Tom Robbins Wild Ducks Flying Backward

Libba Bray The Diviners

John Green Looking for Alaska
