It was possible to compute quite
accurately by. other methods the
actual distance Of these stars from
the earth. The more distant they
were, through the space range of
about 400 parsecs, the greater was
the disproportion Of red to blue in
their spectra. Beyond them lay
other stars whose distances could
be computed. some 1000 parsecs
away. But beyond the 400-parsec
limit there was little increase in
the disproportion of red to blue

extent, but Is more likely to get
through.
