HEAVENS.

Exhibit at the Science Museum,

SIDEREAL PERIOD.

Two orange balls and over 50 ple- tures of the heavens taken at Mount Wilson Observatory, Pasadena, are) being prepared for an exhibition) on natronomy by the Science Museum, South Kensington.

On the two bulls a tiny white companion speck, slightly smaller than the lead in a pencil, has been placed to represent the giant star : Mira (o Cezi) and Aldebaran. The scale used is 1,000,000 miles to an | inch.

One of the most interesting sets of pictures taken at Mount Wilson to be exhibited is the one showing, the Galactic Nebulae, The plane i tary nebulie within the Milky Wayį appear to be atars which in some i way, unknown, become surrounded by shells of gas. These are made luminous in all probability of the radiation from the central star. These shells of gas are of various shapes and many show evidence, uc- cording to Sir James Jeans, of com- plicated internal structure.

The Irregular nebulae shown con- sist of vast clouds of gas and dust stretching from stor to star and often extending over the whole con-, stellation or even further. In many cases dark patches are shown and may be formed by clouds of gas, or possibly of opaque dust. Scientists, however, feel the latter alternative seeins improbable.

Eleven plates of the nebulae in Coma Berenices and 23 pictures of Extra-Galactic Nebulae will also be shown. Some of the pictures have previously been used at the Science Museum.

Facts compiled about the pictures show that nebulae are certain luminous cloudy patches in the heavens. They resemble stars in that they retain the same relative! positions, and thus may be distin-
