"Zetetic Astronomy" (book)

"Zetetic Astronomy" is a book written by Thomas Winship around 1913 that advocates a heliocentric model, asserting that the Earth is a spinning, illuminated disk rather than a globe. The term "zetetic" emphasizes inquiry and investigation, encouraging readers to question mainstream scientific views through observation and reasoning. The book discusses celestial phenomena, proposing alternative explanations for the sun, moon, and stars, and challenges traditional astronomy. It aims to promote critical thinking about the nature of Earth and the universe, emphasizing empirical evidence over accepted scientific consensus.
