The number Of stars recorded on a
photograph plate depends not only
on tho region OF the heavens to which
tho telescope is directed, but on tho
length OF exposure. Al the Bonn oh.
servatory a map Of the northern
heavens was made showing eVory
star visible in small telescope OF
about three inches aperture. " We
call the number Of stars shown on
this map unity the Greenwich photo
graphs with an elevcn.inch telescope
show that In twonty seconds three
and half times as many stars are
recorded; In six minutes hfteen and
a haR times as many, and in forty
minutes seyenty.threo times as
many. BY increasing the exposure
more stars are visible, but tho In
crease is not indefinitely great so
far as these observations 90 they
show either that the number OF stars
is not lzilnito. or that the light Of
stars is absorbed in space.
