ASTRONOMERS MARVEL
Discoveries In Connection With the
New Star IN Perseus,

San Jose, Cal, Nov. 1E-W. w.
Campbell Of the Lick observatory has
Issued a bulletin regarding a recent and
somewhat important discovery made
by Professor Perrine, an attache of the
observatory on Mt. Hamilton, in refer
ence to the new star IN the constella-
ton Perseus. This star appeared sud-
denly and unexpectedly last February,
having been discovered by Anderson in
Edinburgh. In % days Its brightness
Increased from invisibility in ordinary
telescopes until 1t became the brightest
star in the northern sky.
The stars atmosphere was violently
disturbed, as shown by a study of it's
spectrum In the spring months, and
since June the spectroscope has shown
that it is now a nebula, though retain
ing to the eye and in the telescope the
point like form of an ordinary star.
In August Professor Max Wolf Of
Heidelberg. Germany. secured a four
hours exposure photograph of the re-
gion of the sky containing the new
star. His negative showed the exist
ence of some extremely faint nebulous
patches about five minutes Of arc south
of the star, but with no evidence OF re-
~lationship between the nebulous clouds
and the star.
In Septer.ber MI. Ritchie, at the
Yerkes observatory, photographed the
same region with a more efficient in
strument and found that the nebulous
cloud was very nearly circular, some
ten minutes of the arc in diameter, but
of varying intensity in its different
part with the new star situated near
the middle Of the nebulosity.
A recent photograph secured by Pro-
fessor Perrine with the Crosley re-
fiector recording the phenomenal fea-
lures of the nebulous cloud. He COM
pared his photograph with the Yerkes
photograph Of the same object, and
made the interesting discovery that
the brightest portion Of he ebula, at
least, and perhaps the nebula, had
moved to the southeast more than one
minute of arc in the past six weeks.
This observation is in every respect
unique. Motion on this enormous scale
or one-fiftieth part of this scale has
never been observed for n celestial
body outside of the solar system, and
1t is morally certain that the observed
phenomenon is closely related to the
VIOLENT disturbances hat gave birth
to the new star. 1t is perhaps as Won
derful and important as any fact yet
determined in connection with the new
star.
