new STAR is LOCATED
BY WOMAN ASTRONOMER

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. October 49,
A new star, which blazed from OBJ
security to a comparatively promi-
nent position in the sky. has been
found by Miss Johanna c. 8. Mackie
Of the Harvard College observatory.
The observatory, in announcing Miss
Mackie's discovery today. said that
the nova in some ways was different
from any star hitherto known. Miss
Mackie made her find in the course
of the systematic search of photo
graphic plates for new stars, which
now is in progress at the observa-
tory
The Mackie star was not found on
any plate taken earlier than August
20. On that night it's burst of flame
broke the dullness Of the space be-
tween a star Of the 14th and another
Of the 18th magnitude. The nova,
when first observed was Of a. mag
intude. On September 10 it had
reached a magnitude Of rs. Striking
fluctuations have occurred since that
time, and at present the new star
has returned to virtually its first
observed brightness. The spectrum is
said to be very peculiar, with nu-
merous bright lines in unusual COM
bination.
