near the North Pole has Just been

Most of these stars are redder
than one would expect from obser-

This change in color is produced
by fine interstellar dust. just as dust
in our atmosphere makes the setting

The new observations give for the
first time good determination of the
extent to which dust obscures the
light of stars in this region.
This obscuration is so great that
it has an important influence on de-
termination of star distances"
DR.. Sears said the catalog. pub
