The REVELATIONS oF ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE
show that the is , 800 times as far again from
the earth the earth is round. This distance is
so great that il would take railway carriage,
moving at the rate of 100 miles every three hours
$50 years to get through it: but the earth itself
travelling with speed of better than 6S 600 miles
per hour gets through journey of like extent
tha is, 95.000,000 miIcs-in something like two
months. The nearest star is at least 200 900 times
further away. than the sun The light beams como
from the sun to The earth in eight minutes and a
quarter, but it must consume three years and a
quarter upon its journey before it arrive from
the nearest star. But the nearest star Is only on
the inner confines of the vast star galaxy; the
space that it takes the fash of light three years
and quarter to traverse, is nevertheless but lit
tie space, almost swallowed up in the mnensity by
which it is surrounded. for it is computed that tho
most remote stars of the milky way are $50 times
as far away again as the nearest one.
