The new instrument is designed for
observation of all sorts Of celestial
bodies. Prof. Ritchey is greatly in
terested in further knowledge Of the
distribution and qualities of great spiral
systems. These are the enormous ag-
gregations Of stars which lie far out
side the Milky Way system, Of which
the sun, with its planets, is part. The
nearest is about 900 900 light years
away. Each is comparable in size to
the Milky Way system, which includes
practically all of the heavens visible
with the naked eye.
Until few years ago this Milky Way
system seemed to be the whole universe
and 1t Is big enough to satisfy any
body's craving for vastnesS A con-
sentative estimate is that 1t contains
about 10000 10000 stars. Of which the

there are other systems. entirely in
dependent, which are just as large
Each one is an aggregate of millions
upon millions of stars. Many such
star systems have been discovered with
the great telescopes.
Cuts Construction Costs.
But with this new instrument and
larger ones which may be constructed
on the same principle, Prof. Ritchey be-
lieves, 1t will be possible to discover
vast numbers of these spirals which
now cannot be distinguished on the
blurred Photographic plates, or which
appear only as individual stars at a
vast distance
The new instrument is known as the
Ritchey -Chretien telescope, after the
! joint inventors. One of its greatest ad-
vantagcs is that the concaye-convex
! mirror arrangement makes possible the
use Of much shorter tube-only 10
! feet long for the 40-inch glass. This
| is about half the length necessary in
the older types Of rejecting telescopes
It makes possible q much smaller dome,
and thus greatly reduces the cost Of
construction.
Prof. Ritchey was the designer and
builder Of the 60.inch telescope now at
the Mount Wilson Observatory of the
Carnegie Institution Of washington, and
made the optical parts Of the 100-inch
reflector also In use there.
