Ono Minute Essay

Steady improvements are being made
| in the "interferometer," the device
invented by Prof. Nicholson for find
ing out the size Of the !" fixed' stars.
The first star to be thus measured was
Betelguese, in the constellation Orion (;
it was found to be 300,0OU,000 miles in
diameter, or $50 times as big as our
sun. The second star to be measured
was Arcturus, and it is 100000 miles.
Now they have added Vega to the list.
Vega is the beautiful silvery' white
star, in the constellation, Of the Harp,
which forms one corner of notice
| able triangle Of stars high up in. the
| eastern sky during the evening at this
season Of the year.
Vega, it is found is only little
over 6,OO0,0 miles in diameter, or
only seven times the size, Of our sun.
1t is very great DISTANCE away, and
the reason it shines SO bright is that it
is white or "youngs' sun, much
Younger than ours, and its fires have
not begun to die down yet. Our sun ia
a middle aged sun and it is of the vel,
low order. The older suns show red
dish hue, like Aldebaran,. in the Bull.
They are at work measuring Aldebar'
an now. 50 ftf
Our suns atmosphere consists Of
flaming hydrogen heavily, charged with
glowing vapors of metals, such as
iron, tin, zine, aluminium, sodium, titan
ium, etc. Vega is such a bright sun that
it shows almost nothing but pure hy-
drogen; the metals in its interior have
not yet begun 10 manifest themselves
much. If the earth we're represented by
pea, our sun would make ball two
feet in diameter. On this basis Vega
would be about IA feet in diameter,
| Areturus would be 45 feet and Betel.
| guese would be ZOO feet. SO you can
see that our sun. is rather small pota-
toes" though it can make things hot
