Celestial objects were described as moving in circles, because perfect circular motion was considered an innate property of objects that existed in the uncorrupted realm of the celestial spheres.

The applied tools of the mathematics disciplines of Celestial mechanics or its subfield Orbital mechanics ( both predict orbital paths and positions ) about a center of gravity are used to generate an ephemeris ( plural: ephemerides ; from the Greek word ephemeros = daily ) which is a table of values that gives the positions of astronomical objects in the sky at a given time or times, or a formula to calculate such given the proper time offset from the epoch.

Celestial objects are so far away, that even after travelling great distances, the change in angle between the moth and the light source is negligible ; further, the moon will always be in the upper part of the visual field or on the horizon.

Celestial mechanics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the motions of celestial objects.

Celestial objects below this limit are white dwarf stars, formed by the collapse of the cores of stars that run out of fuel.

Celestial objects near the celestial equator are visible worldwide, but they culminate the highest in the sky in the tropics.

Most gods are members of the Celestial Order, which is stratified into two divisions: the Celestial Court, composed of gods of concepts, and the Terrestrial Bureaucracy, made up of the gods of physical objects and locations.

Johannes Kepler ( 27 December 1571 – 15 November 1630 ) was the first to closely integrate the predictive geometrical astronomy, which had been dominant from Ptolemy to Copernicus, with physical concepts to produce a New Astronomy, Based upon Causes, or Celestial Physics .... His work led to the modern laws of planetary orbits, which he developed using his physical principles and the planetary observations made by Tycho Brahe.

Christian, an everyman character, is the protagonist of the allegory, which centres itself in his journey from his hometown, the " City of Destruction " (" this world "), to the " Celestial City " (" that which is to come ": Heaven ) atop Mt.
