Counting the Stars

From '"The New Heavens" by George
 E1lery Hale, in the Scribner
 Go out under the open sky, on a clear and moonless night, and try to count the stars. If your station lies we'll beyond the glare of cities, which is often strong enough to conceal all but the brighter objects, you will find the task a difficult one. Ranging through the six magni- tudes of the Greek astronomers, from the brilliant Sirius to the faintest perceptible points of light, the stars are scattered in great profusion over the celestial vault Their number seems limitless, yet actual count will show that the eye has been deceived. In a survey of the entire heavens from pole to pole, it would not be possible to detect more than from six to seven thousand stars with the naked eye From a single viewpoint, even with the keenest vision, only two or three thousand can be seen. So many of these are at the limit of visibility that Ptolemy's "Almagest'' catalogue of all the stars whose places were meas ured with the simple instruments of the Greek astronomers, contains only 1,o0 stars.
 Back of Ptolemy, through the specula- tions of the Greek philosophers. the mys- teries of the Egyptian sun-god, and the observations of the ancient Chaldeans, the rich and varied traditions of astron- omy stretch far away into a shadowy past All peoples, in the first stirrings of their intellectual youth drawn by the nightly splendor of the skies and the ceaseless motions of the planets, have set up some system of the heavens, in which the sense of wonder and the desire for knowledge were sno less concerned than the practical necessities of life. The measurement of time and the needs of navigation have always stimulated astronomical research, but the intellectual demand has been keen from the first Hipparchus and the Greek astronomers of the Alexandrian school, shaking off the vagaries of magic and divination, placed astronomy on scientific basis, though the reaction of the middle ages caused even such great. astronomer as Tycho Brahe himself to revert for time to the practice of astrology.
