Dark Star Performs Weirdy, Physicists Are Told

temperature must be about 1,400
degrees centigrade. Being so cool
the only radiation it was sending
out consisted of the invisible infra-
red rays to which the human eye
Is insensible.. Use of instruments
capable of recording infra-red radi-
alton have now shown, DR.. Strom-
gren said, that it is actually sending
forth 10000 times more energy
than the sun, all in the form of
heat. This is largely because it
has much more surface to radiate
from.
The actual solid mass of the
black companion is probably rela-
lively small, DR.. Stromgren pointed
out. It's gravity pull recently has
been determined and found to be
only about 100-fold that of the
sun. Hence it should weigh only
about 100 times as much. AL
though there may be other such
stars in the heavens, DR.. Strom-
gren said, they could only be de-
tected if they had bright compan-
ions and no similar instance has
yet come to light.

"The situation is this: A business
