CHICAGO, Jan. l3.-Discovery Of
the largest star ever reported has
been announced by DR.. Otto Struve,
director Of the Yerkes Observatory Of
the University Of Chicago.
DR.. struve said the star was 30
large that II placed in the center Of
our solar system 1t would encompass
nearly all Of 1t, reaching out to Uranus
and leaving only the planets Neptune
and Pluto outside.
The astronomer and his associates,
Profs. Gerald P. Kuiper and Bengt
Stromgren, made . formal report Of
their work in the Astrophysical Jour-
nal.
The star has been named Epsilon
Aurigae. It was described as ..
binary star. or in two parts, with a
diameter 5000 times that Of our sun
and equal to 20 times the distance
between the earth and the sun.
The larger component has q diam
eter Of 1000 million miles and is of
relatively low temperature, about 1000
degrees Centigrade.
DIR. Struve said 1t was some 5000
light years from the earth and near
the FIRST magnitude star Capella. but
despite its size and relative proximity
was not visible to the naked eye.

the giant body was detected by the
late Edwin b. Frost, former director
Of Yerkes, In 1899. DR. Strive said
attempts to photograph 1t were being
made with plates particularly sensi-
tive to infra-red rays.
These rays were due, he said, to q
phenomenon in Epsilon Aurigae's sur
rounding gases similar to that In our
own Heavisids layer. an ionised re-
gion about IS miles above the earth,s
surface. But whereas the earths at-
mosphere reflects radio rays and
makes long distance reception pos
sible. the big stars Heaviside layer
Is SO much more powerful that it re-
fleets light and causes An opaque
ness which has been observed in the
40-inch telescope at Yerkes.
The. smaller star is much the hotter
Of the two. and it lights the infra red
gas layer about the larger component.
The brighter star passes behind the
larger one every a years. DR.. Struve
said. and when 1t does, its light, as
seen from the earth, is reduced by
half. That last occurred in l929-30,
he said.
DR.. Struve termed the discovery of
Epsilon Aurigae lone Of the most out
standing contributions by Yerkes in
its 40 years" The observatory Is To-
