There IS In the constellation Of the
Great Bear a famous little star which
has been called a Runaway because
OF the extraordinary. srsed with which
y y moving. By, It IL 80 far away
that the effect Of Its motion can only
be noted by careful astronomical OBJ,
seryations. Prof. Simon Newcomb has
said Of this star. which bears the
name 1880 Groombrldge," that the
united attractions of the entire known
universe could not have set 1t going
with such velocity and would be unable
to arrest It. Now Prof. Kapteyn an
nounces the discovery of telescopic
star In the southern hemisphere, in
the constellation Pictor, which appears
to be moving considerably faster yet.
What Its real velocity is, however, can
only be told when its distance is
known.
