The 200-inch telescope will be an
energy-measuring engine, a daring
venture into q new kind of seeing"
and not the huge magnifying glass it
is popularity supposed to be.
1t is true that this telescope could
bring the moon to within few miles
of its eye-piece, and Mars close
enough to recognize a city If any
exists there.
But. strange to say, human eyes
will never see, with normal vision,
the objects in space so greatly mag
nified. and for the same reason that
you cannot see the spokes of wheel,
or the designs painted on them,
| when they move too fast.
Light Ray Dances"
The motion which forever blurs the
magnified celestial images is not their
own speed, but is the quivering of the
! earth's atmosphere. A light ray COM
ing down from the city on Mars
is bent and twisted by each change
in temperature and density in the
earth's air. until it literally dances.
Even the unaided eye sees this
vibration in the twinkling of stars.
When telescope magnifles the moon
or any celestial object it also mag
nifies the dancing of the light. In
small telescopes this does not inter-
fere with better seeing. But the in
reference rises rapidly with greater
magnification. In fact, present tele-
scopes already have passed this limit
, so far that it would be of little use
', to build a 200-inch if it had to be
used like Galileo'S instrument.
The l7-foot mirror will collect four
times as much light as the world S
present. largest telescope. These light
rays will not be magnified any more
| than in present telescopes.
Faster Pictures.
But when focused on Photographic
plates and on recently made detec-
tors they will reveal objects in space
four times farther out, will probe a
volume of space 80 times greater and
will take pictures 10 times as fast

RETREAT|NG STARS
PhotoeIeCtric Cells Adequate
for Study of Expanding
Universe.

DR.. Joel Stebbins, WaShburn OBJ
seruatory, University OF Wisconsin,
is the photo-electric cell expert
among astronomers. In this article
he tells some OF the things the
photo-electric cell can do along
NTH the big telescope, the "eye"
OF Which has been poured at
Corning, N. Y.
BY JOEL STEBBINS.
MADISON, Wis, March 26 LP-
OF the various devices to be used with
the 20O-inch reflector, the photoelec-
trio cell is sure to realize fully the
increased power of the large mirror.
Neither optical perfection nor the
steadlest air being required, the sue
cess of the cell on such a telescope is
assured in advance.
Where with the 100-inch reflector
the cell can now barely detect stars
near the edges Of our galaxy, the 200
inch reflector will crash through and
reach out beyond. Likewise, the outer
regions OF other galaxies now, too
faint for observation will come within
the range of the 200-inch reflector.
Stars "CoIored."
A recent development of the COM
bination of photoelectric cell, vac
uum tube amplifier, and large tele-
scope has been the detection of dark
matter or dust in space. revealed by
this apparent reddening of known
white stars along the line of the
milky way. Stars seen through greater
amounts of dust are colored, just as
the sun is Redeemed when we view it
through more air at sunset.
The 200-inch unit will reach not only
the family glowing stars, but also the
dark spaces between them. In the
expanding universe some of the neb-
ulae are moving away so rapidly that
their light is Redeemed and they can
scarcely be photographed. The 200
inch telescope with a red-sensitive
photoelectric cell will catch" them
no matter how fast they go.
Advances "UnpredictabIe"
Finally, If the history of science is
| my guide, the great advances to be
made with the new reflector are un-
predictable. Some young fellow, per-
haps now promising student, will be
carrying on an investigation under
the guidance of experts. He will have
an idea on a related problem, he will
get a start, and then he will scramble
madly up an unblaZed trail.
The resulting discovery, once it Il
made, will be simple and obvious. The
more the technique and equipment oi
science are improved the more they
remain the same.

Telescope Will Make Possible
n Ne,u Venture Into '1Seein g''
viii Reveal Objects in Space -Four
Times Farther Out Than Present
Instruments.

The additional information astrono-
mers can get from this quadrupling
of light is stupendous. They prob
ably will photograph star clouds
1.2OO, 900 900 light years distant. This
means they will have pictures OF those
objects as they looked more than
billion years ago, when the light
started earthward
These rays, too faint for the eye or
present instruments. have been fall
ing on earth ever since man existed,
but he has had nothing powerful
enough to detect them and read their
messages.
If space Is finite and curved as
Einstein says, the 2OO-inch glass is
likely to explain the mystery. AS
tronomers do not expect it to photo
graph the "outer edge" of space, yet
if such an incomprehensible thing
exists, the great telescope is likely to
explain it.
Will Settle Arguments.
Many astronomers feel certain that
the 20O-inch glass will settle whether
the universe is expanding like burst
ing soap bubble. 1t also will bring a
showdown on the arguments of some
scientists who contend that certain
nebulae seen off in the east are merely
the light from known nebulae in the
west, light which has gone completely
around Einstein's curved universe and
is coming to us from behind like some
thing which went straight around the
world.
The 200-inch glass will collect not
only four tmies as much light, but
equally four-fold heat, ultra violet
and infra-red rays. In spectroscopes,
photo-electric cells, vacuum tubes,
ampliflers and galvanometers all these
rays are analyzed and translated into
information as definite as vision.
The 200-inch glass will show little
more definitely how much oxygen
there is on Venus; little more clear
ly the temperatures. the red surface,
the thinneSs of the polar ice cap and
a dozen other things which cause
astronomers to suspect that Mars. If
