On the Heavens (Greek: Περὶ οὐρανοῦ, Latin:
De Caelo or
De Caelo et Mundo) is
Aristotle's chief
cosmological treatise: written in 350 BC it contains his astronomical theory and his ideas on the concrete workings of the terrestrial world. It should not be confused with the spurious work
On the Universe (
De mundo, also known as
On the Cosmos).
