Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

A FAMILIAR figure, used by astronomers for the
last two decades, has been discarded during the
last year. II is the figure for the number of stars
in our galaxy or Milky Way Until this year. the
number OF stars in the galaxy was placed at forty
billion.
Astronomers are now convinced that the figure
was loo small. The new figure, more easily remem-
bered is two and half times larger. It is 100
billion.
"A good round figure DR.. Otto Strive. director
OF the YerkeS observatory called it. DR. Harlow
Shapley, director of the Harvard observatory also
thinks that 100 billion is about right
The general opinion today seems to be that there
is enough material in our Milky Way to make about
ITO billion stars, but that The extra material is con-
densed into the gaseous neoulae and scattered gen
orally throughout the galaxy in the form of the
cosmic cloud
This cosmic cloud is extremely thin so thin in
fact that it is thousands OF times nearer perfect
vacuum than the best sO-calIed vacuum can pro-
duce in the laboratory The cloud probably consists
OF only an atom or two 70 every cubic yard space
MOT only have astronomers revised the number
Of stars in the galaxy during the last year. but
they have also revised the size of the galaxy It is
now assumed that the galaxy is smaller in diameter
than previously supposed.
The galaxy is only about a half or third as large
as various previous estimates made it. The new fig
ure Tor the diameter Of the universe is also good
round number easily remembered. It is 100000
light years. Dr. Henry Norris Russell of Princeton
university is inclined to give the universe slightly
better break. He places the figure at 10000 light
years light year is six trillion miles.
1t is the cosmic cloud which is responsible for
cutting down the dimensions of the galaxy Dr. Joel
B. Stebbns carrying observations at Mt Wilson
with photoelectrc apparatus attached to the gigantic
hundred-inch telescope, proved that the faint
stars were not AS far away previously supposed.
They seemed fainter because Of the obscuring effect
of the coSrnic cloud.
THESE questions Of the structure of the galaxy
Il came up for discussion the other noon when
unched with DR.. Struve Sho is also director of the
new Mcdonald observatory of Texas and c. J. Still
we'll vce-president, and E. p Burrell, director Of
engineering Of the Warner & Swasey Company,
which is building the eighy-inch telescope for
