What If the Sun Went Out?

sage OF light from sun to earth. a
quite perceptible difference. however
arises from the variations In the earth
distance from the sun. due to the eccen-
tricity of the eRrths orbit.
We are about three million miles nearer
the sun at the beginning of January than
at the beginning Of jury, from which /,
follows that II the sun should be put on,
in summer the cosmic night would be
about sixteen seconds longer In reachins
the earth than It would IL the extinction
occurred in winter In the Southern
Hemisphere exactly the opposite state OF
affairs exist. for there winter occurs
when the earth is farthest from the
sun.
The fact that light requires a measure
able time to traverse long distances
makes it an agent, or instrument, on
Astronomical research of inestimabl,
value. AS Prof. Young has remarked
when we observe a celestial body, we see
it not as it is at the moment of oh
servatlon, but as it was at the momen,
when the light left it.
II. then, we know its distance IN
| astronomical units (the astronomical uni,
| here spoken OF is the earths distance
| from the SUM. and also know how Ions
| light takes to traverse that unit, We
| can at once correct our observation By
simply dating 1t back to the time when
its light started from the object. This
| correction is called the equation o.
! light" and the time required for light
| traverse the astronomical unit of dis
lance is called the constant OF the light
equation" amounting, as stated before,
to 4go,566 seconds.
To understand the application of THE
| suppose that we take some star which
attracts our attention by its beauty or Ia
brilliance. We say to ourselves, with q
glow of intellectual enthusiasm: "Beholu
that mighty sun, whose golden rays arr
| so much richer than our daylight! Car
| anybody doubt that there are world
around it enjoying its genial warmth!
| Whereupon an astronomer may correc
us with the remark: What you saS
about that magnificent, but distant, Sun
is very probably true, but you shoulc
speak in the past tense, for the Light b!
which you see it left its surface lone
years ago, and, though 1t still appears L
be shining in the sky, 1t may in reality
have ceased to exist"
Regarded in this way, the starry
heavens exhibit a perspective of time
When we look at the nearer stars W.
