critically, especially by Astrono-
mer Lapland, with a large re.
flector and has been usually OBJ
served with the large refractor by
various members Of the observa-
tory staff.
The motion Of the planet has
been carefully analyzed and ap-
pears eXplainable only as due to
q body beyond Neptune's orbit.
It's great distance, faintnesS
and apparent small size, showing
no planetary disk, leaves knowl-
edge Of it based entirely upon its
rate OF motion and path, accord
ing to DR.. Slipher. ..
Kept to Course
For seven weeks this new
planet has kept faithfully to the
expected course of a transnep-
tune body, agreeing in distance
and position with LoWell's 1914
predictions.
The object, even in large tele-
scopes, looks sensibly like other
faint stars, and it is doubtless a
much smaller body than Neptune,
whose diameter is $4,000 miles or
four times the diameter Of. the
earth, according to the Lowell
Observatory authorities.
It will take at least months to
gain much acquaintance with
this new object Of the skies, ac-
cording to DR.. Slipher, and so its
position in distance from the sun
may for some time remain its
most. distingl gushing characteristic.
