Geography is a representation
of the whole known world together with the phenomena which are contained
therein. In Geography one must contemplate the extent of the entire Earth,
as well as its shape, and its position under the heavens...the length of
its days and nights, the stars which are fixed overhead, the stars which
move above the horizon, and the stars which never rise above the horizon
at all...
---Ptolemy, Geographica
