Newton also conducted a backward extrapolation from modern astronomical data, which demonstrated certain anomalies in Ptolemy's observations. Ptolemy claimed, for example, that he had observed an autumnal equinox at 2 p.m. on Sept. 25, A.D. 132; he stressed that he had measured the phenomenon "with the greatest care."

It covered Cambridge clean and white beneath the black sky.

(Novick and Van Duser also play Club Zircon--354-9242--on the 14th...
