Kant stresses that scientific cognition can only materialize in conjunction with experience. Leaving the sphere of experience takes one into the world of fantasy. From the point of view of Kant’s Copernican revolution in philosophy his description of the inhabitants of other planets in the Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens should also be viewed as unfounded wanderings of the mind. Such wanderings of the mind never occur in Kant’s philosophy of mature years.
