The idea of a round Earth appears to have originated in Greek Philosophy. Aristotle provided the first evidence of a round Earth, noting that explorers traveling south saw southern constellations rise higher above the horizon and that Earth cast a round shadow on the moon. Eratosthenes used the angle of sunlight at different latitudes to estimate Earth's circumference with surprising accuracy.
Aristotle developed a theory that the earth was the center of the universe, and all the planets were attached to it via fifty-five invisible spheres. The moon was close enough to be within the earth's realm, and as a result, possessed the ability to go through phases. He believed these spheres were made up of a substance he called Aether.
