30.-An enormous photograph of
the night sky. which in a few
years will begin to tell astrono-
mers how the Milky Way galaxy
rotateS. has been completed at
Lick Observatory.
It took seven syears of work
with a specially constructed star
camera to do the job. Compile

nounced yesterday by Dr.. C. D.
Shane. observatory director. who
with Observer C. A. Wirtanen
carried out the assignment.
The giant picture is made up
of l,246 photographs. each II
inches square. Each film re-
quired an exposure of two hours.
The finished product, If assem-
bled all on one surface, would
cover a space about so feet
square. or $500 square feet. This
is approximately the floor area
of a medium-sized dwelling

sphere and they cover about
three-QuarterS Of the entire sky.
Stars as far away as 100 million
light years are included.
Because astronomers can tell
which of the stars in the picture
are relatively nearby and which
are far away, they will be able
to determine in future years
something about galactic rota-
ton.
The nearby stars are within
the Milky Way The Milky Way
is a vast. lens-shaped collection
of stars and clouds of dust and
gas. II is believed to be rotat-
ing and to look something like a
fourth Of July pinwheel. But no
earthling can tell for sure by
just looking at the sky because
he is inside the galaxy. To get
a good look he would have to
be on the outside.
Earthbound astronomers can
see other pinwheel galaxies with
spiral arms and glowing centers
and can tell from their shape
something about their rotation.
Seem to Have No Movement.
Some OF the far distant OBJ
jectS in the big picture are other
galaxieS, or great collections Of
stars. They are so far away
that they seem to have no move
ment to change their position in
the sky.
The stars within our own
Milky Way constitute the fore
ground of the big picture. The
far-of galaxies or nebulae con-
stitute the background.
Since the objects in the back
ground remain fixed. they can
serve as markers for detecting
any movement among stars in
the foreground.
Many years hence astronomers
will have made another big pic
ture of the sky. Enough time will
have elapsed to show up any
changes Of position by stars in
the foreground. It will be de-
tectable by comparing the fu-
ture sky pictures with the one
just completed. The amount and
direction of change will begin
to tell the astronomers how fast
any given part of the galaxy is
changing and in what direction.
From this the astronomers
hope to form an idea of our own
galaxy as it might be seen from
some distant island universe.
Planned Two Pictures.
The great undertaking began
with the idea of taking two pic
lures like this so years apart. If
the astronomers stuck to that
schedule it would be another
half century before they could
begin their measurements.
However, the first plates of the
present picture now are seven
years old. In another three to
five years there may be enough

laus Vasilevskis, who will do the

by a Carnegie Corporation grant
Of $65, 5000.
