One Of the most striking spectacles
revealed by telescopes is that OF the
Great Nebula in Orion. In the COM
plexity Of it's glowing streams, spirals
and strangely shaped masses inter-
cepted by yawning black gaps ana
sprinkled over with stars arranged IN
suggestive groups and lines. it has few
rivals in the heavens. The impression
of establishment made by the sight OF
this nebula is heightened by knowledge
of its enormous size. The entire solar
system would appear as tiny speck
beside It. Yet this tremendous aggre-
cation of nebulous clouds and starry
swarms has been proved by the re-
searches of the late Professor heeler
of the Lick observatory to be hylne
away from the earth and the sun at the
rate of II miles in every second! But
so vast is it's distance that 100 years
reveal no visual effects of the great
nebula's swift retreat. If 1t were near
by, it would seem to become raploly
