THE AsTERoID EROS.
ITS Light Has Been Found to FIuctu-

CFrom the Hartford Times)


The asterOid discovered by Herr NitG
in 1897 and temporarily named ID Q" by
him, was soon found 10 be a more re-
markab!e object than any Of the 450 other
minor planets in the astronomers cat
alOgueS. The orbit OF Mars lies outside
that of the earth and most OF the aster-
oids keep outside of the path Of Mars.
But Eros puTsues a course that OVeriapS
that of Mars, and approaches within b.
100000 miles of the earths orbit at one
point. For this reason the astronomers
have recently been trying to utilize that
tiny object in determining the suns dis
tance from the earth.
While thus engaged they appear to have
made q new discovery concerning the as
teroid 1t is alleged that it's brightness
varies within certain limits at short in
terVals Two papers on the subject have
just been contributed TO the "COnptes
Reudus. 81. ROsSard, OF Toulouse, after
studying Eros with glass Of ten inches
aperture on three successive nights last
month decided that 1t ranged from a
magnitude of 9.3 10 II, and returned to the
former brightness in periods OF about two
hours and twenty-five minutes. The de-
gree of fluctuations was determined by
comparison with fixed stars ia the vi
cinity.
NJ Rossard reports that the rise in
brilliancy from minimum to maximum
occurs in fifteen minutes less than the de-
cline. The second contribution, mere
note by VI. Andre, puts the period at
about six hours This statement is so
different from NJ. Rossard's that further

falls on them.
Variable stars are divided into two
classes. As to the cause of the fuctua-

is q good deal OF uncertainty. But in the

incline to believe that the variability ls
due to a partial eclipse. The star Is sup
posed to have a companion, Just as the
earth has a moon And if they TevOlve
around a common centre in the proper
plane the small one will partially conceal
the big one at regular intervals. 1t Is
easy to understand this performance when
one body is bright and the other dark,
relatively. if not absolutely. But the ex-
pIanation does not fit so well where both
bodies are dark and are visible only by re-
hected light Moreover the diminutiOn in
the brightness of variable of the AlgOi
type occurs at the same rate as the in

Eros can be cleared up. In the mean
