NO BUILDINGS ON THE SUN
Why Some Observers Imagined That
They Saw Structures on Face
OF "Oid Sol"

Well into the last century II wns be
Ileyed that the sun was Inhabited, not
with puny beings like ourselves, but
with people weighing several tons and
OF proportlonnte strength
The sun, being body Of most ire
mendous size, must necessarily have
inhabitants worthy OF IT'S grandeur.
And. having men, women and children.
II must have buildings IN which TO
house them and 10 carry on their in
dustries.
Hence some observers. with an in
genuity which did credit 10 their I'M
aglnatiye faculties, were certain that
they had discovered buildings on the
dark, solid body OF the sun. The
buildings were not claimed TO be In
regular formation. such as a vast city
in the sun might be supposed 10 con.
tain, but were merely traces
That was how these observers al
lowed their Imagination TO run riot.
As a fact, what they actually saw
was not dark body on the sun az all,
for II possesses none, but dark open
lngs tcaused by uprushes Of gaSl In
the suns flaming envelope. These
openings we know as sunspots and the
differences IN the shading Of the spots
were taken to be buildings beside
which the largest on the earth would
be mere toy.
