 The recent changes In the nebdla sur rounding the new star in Perseus and the measurements made upon the moving portions of the nebulosity gave a basis for caIculatlons of the distance, dimensions and brilliancy of the star system.

The phenomena that we have witnessed took place about 25O years ago, then. and were contemporaneous with Oliver Cromwells protectorate. If our own sun were 10 be removed to te dist ance of the new Star 1t would shine as a star of the tenth magnitude, that is, 1t would be jus tvisihle in a telescope hay ing an object glass about three inches in diameter.
