a star n means of determining its

For convenience. in this calcula.
tion. the radius OF the parallactic

of the earth's orbit. which Is the
same thing as the distance OF the
earth from the sun. Suppose the
parallactio orbit is observed to
have n diameter OF a second of arc;
then its radius will be half a sec-
ond.
This shows that the radius of the
earth's orbit (93 900 900 miles) seen
from that star would be half a sec.
ond Of arc. But, by "radian meas
ure," half a second corresponds to
a distance OF $4,000 times the
linear dimension of the object, and
$4,000 multiplied by $4,000 900
gives 3s.3l6, 900 900 900 miles as the

What Circling of Stars Reveal

But there is another, slower,

the sun. In this case 1t Is the
motion OF the sun that Is observ-
ed. while the inside of the sky

be an apparent yearly revolution
OF Polaris about the ecliptic pole,
with reference TO the position OF

revolution of the ecliptic pole
about Polaris.

off to the east OF Polaris. Thus
It appears to circle all around
Polaris in the course of a year.
There is a real revolution of the
pole OF rotation mot of Polaris)
around the ecliptic pole, due to
the procession of the equinoxes,
which takes 25,S00 years for q
circuit. In consequence of this
Polaris will. in time, be far away
from the true north pole, though
not, in the meanwhile, changing
its distance from the ecliptic pole.
For our descendants OF Il few
thousand years hence Polaris will

have been left behind by the
revolving pole.
But there is another apparent
revolution affecting the stars
which has still greater interest
because 1t forms the basis for
measuring their distances. This
is the sky in the form of minute
circles. described once every year
by all stars that are near enough
to present q measurable parallax.
These are called the "parallactio
orbits" of the stars, and their
centers Of motion are the poles Of
the ocliptic. II q star 10 near the
ecliptio pole. its parallactio orbit
becomes a circle because. seen from
the earth the star lies on the axis

orbit is seen at right angles.

tween the eciptic pole and the ecip-
tic its parallactic orbit Is seen at
an angle to its plane, and there

The point in the northern sky

pole of the ecliptic, the ecliptlc
being the projection on the sky Of
the plane Of the earth's orbit.
Now, the north pole Of the ecliptic
Is situated about 23h degrees
south OF the north pole Of the
equator, which represents the
point where the earth's axis of ro-

Draco, more than half way from
Polaris to a conspicuous lozenge-

bright star Vega.
In consequence OF the rotation
Of the earth, all the northern stars
