1 Corinthians 15:40

There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.

From Background Notes [BN] for May 24th & 25th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Again, we know that the philosopher Anaxagoras (480-430 BCE) believed that a large number of seeds make up the properties of materials, that heavenly bodies are made up of the same materials as Earth, and that the sun is a large, hot, glowing rock. He also...

...discovered that the moon reflected light and formulated the correct theory for the eclipses. The Corinthians had access to this information and would have no doubt heard and understood Paul’s comparisons through the lens of whatever science was at their disposal. [BN,9]
