Key Notes
The quoted passage argues that different stars show different powers, so one single principle such as rarity and density cannot account for all celestial variation.
The quoted text reduces the rarity thesis to two options: either the moon lacks matter through and through in some parts, or density alternates within it the way lean and fat alternate in a body.
The quoted text says that if rarity does not run through the moon entirely, then at some depth light must be blocked and reflected back, creating the appearance of dimmer regions without requiring total hollowness.
