MOUNT WILSON LABORATORY,
PASADENA. Calf, May Sir James
Jeans, in his quest for more data about
the universe going to pieces today met
Dr. Gustaf Stromberg, Swedish astrono-
mer, engaged here in measuring star
movements in the milky way.
Stellar motions have been studied ex-
Ncnsively at Mount Wilson and spectre
scopists have determined how many
miles per second 5000 stars are moving
howard the earth or away from 1t.
Studies Stellar Paths.
The milky-way galaxy is the island
universe of which the earth is part,
and Sir James describes 1t as great
cart wheel turning on its center, which
Is in the region of Sagittarius. There
are estimated to be some 10000 million
stars in this island universe, which is
but one Of some 30,000,000 other such
island universes.
The work of determining the laws Of
stellar motions-in other words, the
traffic laws of the universe--is one of
the tasks Of DR.. Stromberg.
Some peculiar general laws have
been found for the motion of stars in
our galaxy" he said. There IS GER
tain thoroughfare in the plane of the
milky way along which stars move With
q relatively high velocity.
In Circular Motion.
Most stars move with speed about
roo miles per second along this thor
ourhfare. but certain types lag behind
in the general procession.
Lately the Dutch astronomer Oort
Of Ieyden gave evidence that this pro-
cession is not along straight line, but
along more or less circular path about
a center situated somewhere in the
dense star clouds of Sagittarius.
From the stellar motions it is pos
sible to estimate the weight of the
whole milky way galactic system, of
which our sun is an insignificant mem
Der. This weight is of the apparent
order of 1000, 900 600 600, 900 900 000,-
