The Stellar Universe.

In knowledge for November, DR..
Roberts gives a photograph of a new
nebula, in the midst of which dark
sinuous vacancy, or rift, appears.
through which we can see into the
starless vacancy of space beyond"
Some of those who argue that space
is finite hold that if it were infinite
the infinitely distant stars in their
aggregation would cover the face OF
the sky with light. This, however,
assumes that stars are equally dis
tributed throughout space, and such
an assumption is contrary to all OBJ
servable phenomena. Nothing war;
rants the idea that the infnity of
space involves the assumption Of its
occupation by an infinite number of
suns symmetrically arranged through
out it.
