Every Star a Hot Sun.

Trof. Eric Doolittle. answering a
question about stars i'm the ST. Nicholas
Magazine.
There are many stars in the sky
which vary in brightness in a remark
able manner. Every star is a great hot
sun. millions of times larger than our
little earth. and some of the stars
which ook to us to he single stars are
really two suns so close together that
they look To MS like one. Sometimes
n of these stars is very bright. and
revolving around this bright star there
is another when is less bright. And
sometimes the darker star passes reg
ularly between the bright one and us.
and so hides the bright star partly
from as.
In the northern sky there is such a
system called Algol. ur the demon star.
Every W days and 90 hours the durker
companion hides Tho bright sun pr :tly
from our view. and so cuts off five
sixths of the light of the bright star.
We see the star growing DINNER and
DINNER for about three hours: at the
end of this time h center of the
darker star is directly i'm front of the
center Of the bright one. Then the
darker one moves steadily past the star
and in time the star that had been
dimmed shine out in full brightness
A little less than three days afterward
we see the same thing happen again.
But none OF these stars shine so bright
as first magnitude stars. nor are they
made so faint by the darker star as to
be wholly invisible to the eye.
Sometimes a new stan blaZes out in
the heavens. Perhaps when this hap
pens a dark star has 'plowed' through
one of the nebulous clouds In space and
It's surface is thus heated by friction
from a dark crust to Il brilliant va
porous mass. Or perhaps when we. see
such a new star it means that the two
stars have run into each other. Exactly
what happens when one of these new
stars shines out we do not yet know"
