HOW THE NEW PLANET WAS FOUND.
THREE HUNDRED YEARS CYCLE ROUND THE SUN.
(BY SIE JAMES JEANS IS
Although it is perhaps too early to feel badlute certainty, there would seem to be no reason for doubting the news just received from America that another major member of the Solar System has been discovered. The discovery is hardly more interesting than the manner by which it was achieved.
Five planets-Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn-form such conspicuous objects in the sky that they have been known from the earliest times. These and our Earth were the only planets known antil Sir William Herschel dis covered. Uranus, almost by acci- dent; in 1781. What appeared at fret ginner to be an ordinary star, a mere bright point of light, was seen on closer examination to have a visible disc of sensible size, which was moving at a comparatively rapid rate across the face of the sky. Its size and the rapidity of its motion both suggested that it must be near neighbour in the sky, and further study showed that it was an ordinary planet, the far- thest from the sun so far known.

It is a tremendous event in the history of astronomy, although is hardly likely to, make such stir as the discovery of Neptune which was hailed as the greatest triumph of the human intellect since the time of Newton. For one thing, the intervening eighty-four years has seen the main interest of astronomy passing out beyond the confines of the Solar System to the remotest of stars and nebulae.
Mest astronomers now, suppega
that the planets were pulled out of the sun by the intense tidal ac- tion of a passing star. The very close passage, of a second star would raise huge tides on the sun's our face. These would differ in quality as well as in degree from the feeble tides, which the moon raises in our oceans. A huge mountain of mat ter would be raised which, in the case of a very close approach "in. deed, would became detached as a eigar-shaped filament of gas. This would ultimately break up and con- desse into detached masses, some- what is a cloud of steam condenses into detached drops of water.
