Professor Campbell of the Lick OBJ
servatory reports that the star called
xxi Geminorum, which has long been
known as a variable, is in reality
double, but it's two components are so
close that no telescope is able to sep
arate them, and their existence is
proved by the shifting lines in the
spectrum. The variations in bright
ness, he thinks, can only be due to the
attraction between the two stars rails
ing immense tides in their molten or
vaporous globes, which, through the
effects Of compression or otherwise,
displace the spectral lines.
